The Local Jewelry Shop Difference.

Proudly Located in Downtown Sioux Falls Since 1902.

  • My wife and I actually live in Oregon. My wedding ring was bought at Bechtold jewelry store thirty five years ago. We have found them to be so helpful, honest and sell quality products. Not only us but our whole family deals with Thomas James & Bechtold's. Why, because we not only get a quality product but they are go out of their way to help us in any way they can.
Dan & Linda Chilson
  • My wife and I have done business with Bechtold Jewelry Store for over 45 years. The service, quality and design of all our purchases has always been and continues to be the very best. Paul and his staff are great and Bechtold's will "always" be our jewelry store of choice.
Vince and Pat DeBates
  • I’ve shopped at Bechtold’s since 1993. Their knowledge, quality, and pricing are unmatched. The consistency of their long-tenured staff speaks volumes in a transient industry, and it’s a wonderful luxury to be able to rely on experts who have been there throughout the years.
