About Us

Evan Michaels and Son DBA was est. in downtown Spokane in August of 1973. Locally owned and sole proprietorship Diamond broker and full service jeweler. We are currently located in the skywalk level of the Washington Mutual bank building located at 601 W. Main St. downtown Spokane.

In the Diamond trade, there are approximately 120 plus qualities of saleable goods. Color, Clarity and Cut of a Diamond are very important and essential information to know and understand while purchasing. Be wise when you buy. If possible, speak to an owner rather than a sales person.

Evan Michaels has the knowledge and the experience through thirty years in business to guide you to the finest Diamond of your choice. Being a Diamond Broker with low overhead, we have the ability to beat our competitors by hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars per piece. I suggest strongly the consumer compare prices for the same quality of Diamond (color, clarity, cut and Diamond weight.) If you compare prices you will understand that my statements are of true fact.

Fortunately all jewelers purchase Diamonds at basically the same price (give or take 5%). High overhead creates the standard of pricing in the jewelers trade. Evan Michaels being a sole proprietor and buying goods at the same price as jewelers makes it impossible to be undersold. The establishments overhead is substantially low creating fine jewelry at very affordable pricing.

Evan Michaels is full service Fine Jewelry store. Fine Jewelers throughout the U.S. are rated by the Jewelers Board of Trade. Ratings consist of one being the highest to possibly three or four being the lowest. Having a no. one rating as we do defines our credibility in the Diamond Industry. It allows us the opportunity to pursue and receive from anywhere Nationally, overnight mailing of any Find Diamond, colored stone and any piece of jewelry to present to you with no commitment on your part. In most cases we may have the particular stone you are pursuing in stock. We enjoy serious customers.

There are many avenues to consider while purchasing fine Diamonds. Certification of Diamonds means that the Diamond in hand is certified through and Institute such as GIA, EGL and American Gem Society. A Diamond that is not Certified in most cases is what the jeweler states (color/clarity/cut). Purchasing of a non Certified stone is expectable. So, meaning you must have trust and confidence in your jeweler and the educated appraiser. Evan Michaels and Son absorbs a sophisticated appraisal fee of great magnitude and depth. This service is provided to Evan Michaels by Master Jewelery Appraisal Services, which is the area's foremost appraiser for Fine Jewelry. Jan McDonald Jennings, credentials are of the highest pinnacle. She is very educated and the highest of integrity. If the Jeweler sells a non-certified stone at the consumers request, a non bias appraisal is very worthy, for most accurate and decisive. Jan has acquired all the equipment that Institutes have, therefore, sometimes certification may not be necessarily entirely up to the customer.

Evan Michaels has sold hundreds of loose Diamonds in thirty years of ownership, many certified stones and Diamonds that are not certified, backed by an appraisal of great magnitude and depth for Insurance purposes.

His credentials are unmatched in the Inland Empire. His name is Marlin Pihl. His credentials are as follows. Title: Jewelry of America Certified Master Bench Jeweler.
