Knowles Jewelry of Minot prides itself on being a full-service jewelry store and is proud to offer on-site jewelry repair and design. For almost a century, Knowles Jewelry has set the standard for exceptional jewelry in North Dakota. The original Knowles Jewelry was founded in Bismarck in June of 1907 by F.A. Knowles and J.A. Haney. Six years later Knowles bought out his partner Haney and established Knowles Jewelry as an independent fine jeweler in downtown Bismarck. Mr. Knowles operated the store until 1949 when he sold it to Joe Lohmer. Lohmer sold the store to Ted and Rudy Kempf in 1959.In 1975, Knowles Jewelry purchased Straus Jewelry in Minot, which dated back to the 1930s. In 1984, Bruce Peterson, an employee of Knowles at the time, purchased the share of one of the Kempf brothers and took over the Minot operation, renaming the store Knowles Jewelry, though operating it separately from the Bismarck store. In the mid-1990s Peterson moved the store to a location near Dakota Square Mall. Barbara and Mark Maland bought the store from Peterson in 1997 and kept the store in the same location until March 2003 when they moved the store to its present location in the 20th Avenue Mall in Minot. In February 2006, Al and Linda Torrington purchased the store from the Malands. They continue the long tradition of excellence that has made Knowles Jewelry of Minot the premier jewelry store in Minot. As an independent fine jewelry store, Knowles Jewelry of Minot specializes in diamonds and colored stones as well as fine jewelry manufactured by the world's premiere designers. Knowles Jewelry of Minot also specializes in its own line of custom made jewelry created and cast by our professional Senior Bench Jeweler and Goldsmith.
