When he was 15 years old, Bernie Ochs was hired by a family jewelry business, where he continued to work through high school and college.  After graduating with a Bachelors degree in Finance, the same family jewelry business wanted him to manage one of their jewelry stores.  Bernie did just that until he decided to open his very own store.

In October of 1987, Bernie Ochs Jewelers opened its doors to the public in Monroe, Michigan.  He teamed up with Ron Carroll in March of 1990 to open a second store in Toledo, Ohio.  This union became Carroll/Ochs Jewelers.  Since then, Ron has retired and the Toledo store was sold, leaving Carroll/Ochs Jewelers in its present Monroe, Michigan location.
For the past 20 years, no matter where our stores were located, weve strived to grow and offer exceptional diamonds, jewelry and watches at competitive prices.  Our services are designed to help our customers find the perfect piece of jewelry for any occasion. If you cant find exactly what youre looking for or simply want a unique piece, Carroll/Ochs specializes in custom designs.
At Carroll/Ochs Jewelers, we also understand the importance of giving back to the community.  We will donate to just about any charity that seeks help, but specifically, we are a major sponsor of the Grafton Hall Bridal Expo and the American Red Cross Golf Spectacular.
