About Julees Jewelry

"Life is not measured by the number of breathes you take, but by the number of moments that take your breathe away."

Julee's Jewelry is an independent, full-service, fine jewelry sales and repair business locally owned by Julee Johnson since 1999. Just 12 miles north of Mankato and one hour south of the Minneapolis/St.Paul metro area, Julee's Jewelry is conveniently located on Hwy 169 in downtown St. Peter, Minnesota. Specializing in fine jewelry and diamonds, plus a top quality repair department, ensures happiness for a lifetime. Julee's Jewelry is your source for a direct diamond importer. With an extensive selection, expert service and knowledgeable staff, Julee’s Jewelry is sure to provide you with a memorable experience.

As retailers of fine jewelry, we have always believed in honest pricing. Jewelry in our store is often marked at or below prices of chain jewelry stores' half off sale prices. Instead of marking our stock way up and then offering a deep discount, we give you a fair, honest price every day.

Originally from Crosby-Ironton, MN, Julee attended the U of MN and Mankato State University with a teaching degree in mathematics. She has since studied through the Gemological Institute of America, American Gemological Society and trained as a goldsmith. She attends jewelry and diamond buying events and is connected to national and international vendors, as well as, diamond site holders.

Julee is a direct diamond importer with the opportunity to regularly buy diamonds in the diamond capital of the world, Antwerp, Belgium and to buy diamonds from South Africa. You can place your order with her before she goes and she will hand-pick from thousands of carats your very own special diamond. She is your personal diamond broker and will save you hundreds, and sometimes thousands of dollars for the perfect, beautiful diamond. Julee assures all diamonds are conflict-free.

Business related memberships have included Retail Jewelry Organization, Better Business Bureau, National Federation of Independent Businesses, St. Peter Chamber of Commerce, Mankato Chamber of Commerce and River Valley Business Partners.
