Walkers n Daughters

Walkers n' Daughters Jewelers in Bismarck, North Dakota, is truly a family business. Founded in 1933 by C.M. (Charles) Walker, watch maker and father of current owner, LeRoy C. Walker, now retired. The business is entrusted to LeRoy's semi-retired wife, Louise, who manages the downtown store. Daughter Susan manages the Kirkwood Mall Store. Susan's husband, Larry Weiand, is the clock manager, and performs all of the clock repair.

Because Walker n' Daughters Jewelers is a family owned and operated business, customers in this town have really come to trust them. Not too long ago, 'A customer, who was in a rush, dropped off a box with three diamond rings in it,' Louise admits. 'He told the sales clerk, 'Don't worry; Louise knows what it's all about.''

We want all of our customers to feel this comfortable with the store.

We emphasize clocks, displaying more than 150 in each of the two locations. Walkers n' Daughters Jewelers also offers our customers watches and fine jewelry (karat gold, diamonds and colored stone pieces and pearls). In the 1970s, once LeRoy Walker received his Gemological Institute of America (GIA) degrees, Walkers n' Daughters Jewelers stressed the 'ideal cut' diamonds, because they had the mathematical maximum combination of brilliance and sparkle for the most beauty.

Product knowledge is very important at Walkers n' Daughters Jewelers. LeRoy recalls that, back in 1970, 'A customer wanted to look at some diamonds.' After the customer had more questions than LeRoy had answers for, he decided, 'This will never happen again.' He immediately contacted the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and started on the home study course. Now LeRoy is a Certified Gemologist through American Gem Society (AGS), as well as a Graduated Gemologist through GIA. Louise is a Registered Jeweler through AGS.

In addition to fine jewelry & gifts, we feature service and repair of clocks and watches. We also deliver. We have traveled as far as 200 miles to service a clock. If a clock is purchased from us, Larry will travel and fix it free of charge (with the two-year guarantee) in the Bismarck/Mandan area. Our experts have over 100 combined years of experience in clock repair. We have repaired clocks that were over 400 years old. We do all the repairs and clock maintenance ourselves, from simple cleaning, to extensive bushings, to manufactoring required parts.

Walkers n' Daughters Jewelers have been profiled in the national magazines The Goldsmith, and Jewelers' Circular Keystone, as well as local coverage in The Bismarck Tribune for their fine service and beautiful products.

We thank all of our valued customers who entrust us with their jewelry needs. Our customers are the reason we continue to strive for excellence. We look forward to serving you.
