Max's

Describe your jewelry services/store:

Max’s is not your usual wedding jewelry store! Between our unsurpassed selection of artist made jewelry that you won’t find all over the Twin Cities, our relaxed atmosphere (would you like a glass of wine and some chocolate while you’re shopping?) and our no-pressure knowledgeable sales staff (yes, we’ll leave you alone to look around and help you when you let us know that you would like some help), we’re confident that you’ll enjoy your visit. Our jewelry appeals to the customer who is confident enough in her (and his!) personal style that she appreciates something that is unique and different; you don’t want a diamond, no problems here. We enjoy working with couples to help them find those unique rings and other adornments for the big day that are compatible with their own style and personality. Don’t see it? We’d love to work with you and one of our many designers to create a one-of-a-kind piece. We’re happy for you and the new life you’re about to start, and we think that buying your rings should be a happy, fun occasion and a hassle-free experience.

What services do you offer?

We’re not about selling trends but, rather, helping our brides and grooms find that piece of jewelry that best expresses their personality and fits their lifestyle. We carry the lines of more than 50 of the world’s most respected jewelry artists and they have a wide range of selections for those couples seeking something unique and alternative, as well as options for those with more traditional taste. Many of our designers also create custom work for our customers seeking bespoke pieces. The common thread that weaves all of our designers together is a commitment to creating stunning, artistic work that’s handmade applying superior craftsmanship to designs using the finest, ethically-sourced gemstones and precious metals.

What is your philosophy towards working with brides?

Max’s is not your usual wedding jewelry store! When we work with wedding customers, our goal isn’t to sell the biggest diamond. We will offer the very highest quality diamond in an exquisite setting that evokes the wearer’s individual style, and we will be able to share the story of each piece of jewelry and the designer who created it. That’s just one of the many things that sets Max’s apart from other jewelry stores.

Do you design your own jewelry? If so, can a couple come in and design a ring with you?

We don’t design jewelry, but many of the designers we represent do do custom design work.

Do you carry high-end jewelry and costume jewelry?

All of our jewelry is artist-made fine jewelry at a variety of price points.

How long does it typically take from the time you order a ring or piece of jewelry to the time it is ready to go?

4-6 weeks

Do you do engraving?

No, but we’d be happy to make a recommendation.

Is there anything else you would like me to know?

I’ve tried to create a store that has things that are new and different for shoppers in the Twin Cities, and one that’s fun too!
