Swierenga Jewelers, Inc.

Swierenga Jewelers has deep roots in the traditions of family and good old-fashioned service that date back to 1949 when Barney Swierenga established the business on Wealthy Street in Grand Rapids.  The following year Mr. Swierenga hired a dedicated young watchmaker named Tunis Vanderlugt, and soon after moved the store to a new “suburban” Alger Heights shopping center in southeast Grand Rapids.  Fifteen years later Mr. Vanderlugt bought the business, and with his wife Lois, earned a loyal clientele from all over West Michigan. He decided to honor the founder by keeping the original store name. In 1981, Tunis and Louis’ oldest son Tom – who had earned credentials in Gemology and Goldsmithing and been involved in the business since childhood – bought Swierenga Jewelers from his father. Under Tom and his wife Deb, the business continued to prosper, outgrowing the Alger Heights location.  In 1999, Swierenga Jewelers moved to its current location in the beautiful Caledonia D&W Village Center where the customer-centered traditions of quality, selection and service continues today, over six decades later
