In 1949 Jule W. Loch founded Loch Jewelers in Maple Lake, MN. The present location of Loch Jewelers is in Monticello, MN. Loch Jewelers has been serving the area for over 58 years. Jule’s wife and mother of 11 children, Monica Loch, has been a positive influence over the years. From the beginning Monica supported Jule in his plan to create a business to support his family. Then in 1971 Jule passed away from cancer and Monica operated the store with the help of her children.

In 1977 Loch jewelers reopened in downtown Monticello. Monica was joined by her son, Steve Loch, a master watchmaker. In 1980 Monica’s son, Alan Loch, also joined the business as a master goldsmith.

In 1998, Monticello Community Partners recognized Loch Jewelers for its restoration of our downtown location. It was remodeled back to the 1800’s with a full 24k gold inlay glass sign and vintage hanging lights. The sign is still displayed today in our new location.

In 2005 Monica Loch retired after fifty-six years in the business. Although she still continues to check in on her two sons, Steve and Alan, and her grandson Michael, who are now operating the family business.

In 2006 lots of changes have taken place. Loch Jewelers relocated to the southeast side of Monticello. This has been the most prominent change in twenty-nine years. You can find Loch Jewelers near the intersection of highway 25 and Chelsea road. This move allowed Loch Jewelers guests to enjoy more room and an elegant more comfortable atmosphere.

Today, 2007 with this family team, the business has grown from state wide,national, and now international business. Steve and Alan (2nd Generation) are both certified by GIA (Gemological Institute of America) for diamond grading and travel annually to Antwerp Belgium and South Africa to work directly with their diamond cutters.
