In 1968 Stanley A. Urban founded Urban Jewelers in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. It has been in its current location at 215 S. Main Street since 1988. In 1997 Mark Urban, Stanley's son, bought the business. Stanley, or "The Boss" as everyone calls him, became semi-retired (meaning he's on his own schedule). He just can't stay away from something he loves! Today Mark and his staff carry on the same business principles that the business was formed on...knowledge, professionalism, quality and service.

We have been customers of Urban for years. The friendliness and quality custom jewelry makes them a favorite of ours.
Cheryl Urban and my finance designed a gorgeous engagement ring for me! They are wonderful, talented, people.
They are the best designers of jewelry I Have seen. They suggest what is best for you. They do not try to talk you into spending just for a sale. They are friendly And treat you like you are the person next door. They are just great.
Mark and Cheryl Urban has the best jewelry store! Mark's designs are unique and Cheryl gives great guidance and help in choosing exactly the right piece of jewelry for you.
Mark and his staff consistently deliver a quality product, superior customer service, and great value - all with stunning designs. It makes it an easy decision for us to shop at Urban - even from Seattle! Urban is the best!
Their jewelry is one of a kind. Everything is done to meet whatever needs or wants that you have. Very original.
We have been customers for 15 years and will go no where else, even though the drive is now 3 hours for us! They made my engagement and wedding ring which is one of a kind and spectacular! Everything they do is that way and they are wonderful people. You will always be the BEST with us!
Thoughtful and creative design, outstanding staff, and ability to build long-term relationships with customers are key hallmarks of the Urban Jewelers tradition. We never shop anywhere else for special jewelry.
They have fantastic service and are family/locally owned and operated. The quality of their work and attention to detail is flawless. My husband and I have bought several pieces and have always been very pleased.
What's not to love...great store, wonderful people, and talented staff. They re-did my wedding ring and it turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! My finger glistens! I love you guys...hope you win!
Urban creates great looking jewelry that is of the best quality. They'll do custom designs as well.
Friendly people who do great design jewelry and always give you the best look. Very experienced.
Even after traveling around the world, we always come back to Urban Jewelers for their unique custom jewelry that is perfect for us.
Mark and Cheryl Urban are both very creative people. Mark places a tremendous amount of thought and personal touches to all the pieces in their store. Cheryl is a certified gemologist and is very knowledgeable and service oriented so that any concerns or questions you may have about any piece she is able to give you a knowledgeable answer.
Their jewelry is so unique and you always get that personal touch, which has kind of fallen to the way side these days!
The originality of the pieces of jewelry shows the Urbans truly love their work.
Mark is not only the master of unique jewelry design, he knows how to deliver what his customers envision. He helped my boys design a birthstone ring for a surprise Mother's Day present that truly reflects our personal relationship and it is stunning. Thanks, Urban's you are The Best.
My younger sister had numerous pieces of jewelry designed by Urban Jewelers...they were GORGEOUS! The jewelry was of the finest quality and the designs were truly unique. If you notice I said "had, was, and were" because my sister was killed (along with my brother-in-law) when their private aircraft went down in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Venice, FL. Why am I telling you this? I want you to know the type of establishment Urban Jewelers is! Because their pieces were so unusual, I "knew" where they were made. I took them to Urban Jewelers, Cheryl and Mark Urban, to see if there was any way they "may" be able to resell their one of a kind pieces. Without hesitation they agreed to see what they could do for me. They held each piece until the "right buyer" came along who recognized quality. The Urbans were not willing to "just sell the pieces" to get them out of their inventory. I must also mention that they did this for a complete stranger who does NOT live in MI...I live in a small town in southern NJ! They are honest with all of their customers in EVERY aspect - their quality jewelry and their desire to please the customer. They do what so many other business have forgotten over the years - they SERVE their customers with a smile even when it may not be easy to do so! (FYI - my sister had "hundreds of thousands of dollars" worth of jewelry but the Urban jewelry could be spotted among all of her earrings, rings, bracelets, chains, pins, and pendants. I could go on and on but I'm sure you're getting tired of reading this. Please know that "if" I had something that was NOT complimentary, I wouldn't hesitate to write that either. The Urbans took a commission for selling the jewelry, which is only right, but they were "up-front" with me for the entire 1 1/2 years I had been dealing with them. I can't sing praises enough about a company that "deserves" to be recognized as "THE BEST!" There are so few of them around in today's world!
They have consistently designed compliment grabbing jewelery for me from gems I've inherited. They are great at working with you to get the look you want.
