Rogers Jewelers tradition of excellence began in 1948 when the original store was founded by Harold and  Inez Rogers.  Following a move from Evart in 1969, the store has been a fixture in downtown Big Rapids ever since. The store was later purchased by Rogers’ daughter and son-in-law, Maryann and Bill Pritchard, who hired the newest owner of the store at the age of 15.  Seems his mother told him to get a job if he wanted a car and he’s been at the store ever since.

“Today, you can find the same tradition of excellence at Rogers Jewelers,” said John Miedema, who purchased the store from the Pritchards in 2007.  John holds certification from the Gemological Institute of America in Fine Stone Setting and also is the store’s goldsmith. John especially enjoys helping young couples find that special engagement ring as they begin their lives together.

Along with beautiful jewelry, Rogers also has a large selection of watches and clocks and offers expert repair service.  John and his staff recently re-set the store’s interior to better serve their customers.
