Custom Design
From sketch to finished piece, every step is guided by your story and our bench experience.
About the workshop
Jewelry made by hand, trusted by neighbors.
For decades, Shamrock Jewelers has been a small workshop on Main Street in Dubuque, Iowa, where fine jewelry, custom design, repairs, and watch service are handled under the same careful hands.

Who we are
A workshop, not a showroom
Shamrock Jewelers is a single-room workshop on Main Street in Dubuque. We do not hand work off to a distant facility. Custom designs, repairs, and watch service are planned and carried out here, where you can speak directly to the person working on your piece.
Our cases hold fine jewelry chosen for quality and enduring style, but the heart of the shop is the bench: magnification lamps, hand files, gravers, and the patience to get a setting exactly right.

Why locals trust us
Reputation built one repair at a time
In a small city, trust is earned in increments. A ring resized in time for an anniversary. A watch movement cleaned so it keeps perfect time. A custom design that looks like the drawing. That is why Dubuque families return.
Repairs
Sizing, soldering, stone tightening, chain repair, and restoration — all handled in-house.
Watch Service
Battery replacements, movement service, and band adjustments for everyday and heirloom timepieces.
Fine Jewelry
Rings, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings selected for quality and lasting wear.
How we work
