Custom Jewelry Creation
After refining our process for over a century, we ask the important questions to learn everything we can. From the color of their eyes and the style of clothes they wear, to the work they do and the hobbies they enjoy. Every detail is meticulously considered throughout the entire process to create something specifically crafted for them and their lifestyle.

In 1902, J.H. Bechtold moved from Duluth, Minnesota to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to become manager of Keating Jewelry. He later changed the name to Bechtold’s Jewelry. J.H. Bechtold also had a degree in Optometry, which became another added service from the store.
In the early 30’s, “Bud” Bechtold joined his father in the store. The business survived the Dust Bowl, a Depression, and World War II. In 1947, the store moved to its present location. This photo was taken during the Grand Opening of the new store. Bud retired in 1997.
Today, Bechtold’s Jewelry continues the century tradition of quality jewelry and exceptional service.
We are a fourth generation family run store that has been serving the Sioux Falls Jewelry Store needs since 1902.
