About USA Jewels & Timepieces
USA Jewels & Timepieces has been serving Ketchikan and online customers nationwide since 1999. Located on historic Mill Street in downtown Ketchikan — one of Alaska's most popular cruise ship ports — our store offers fine jewelry, certified loose diamonds, watches, and custom design services.
Whether you visit us in person or shop online, you receive the same personalized service: expert guidance from real gemologists, competitive pricing (30–40% below traditional retail), and a lifetime warranty on every piece we sell.
Our Story
The Ketchikan store was founded by Divyang and Alay Mehta, who saw an opportunity to bring fine jewelry and certified diamonds to Alaska's busiest cruise port. Today the store is run by Alay and Divyang's son Deep Mehta, a certified GIA gemologist, carrying forward the family's commitment to expert service and transparent pricing. That philosophy drives everything we do — from our Design Your Own system to our education center. We are a family business built on relationships, not transactions.

Why Customers Choose USA Jewels
We are not a faceless online retailer. We are real people — gemologists, designers, and jewelers — who answer the phone, answer your questions, and stand behind every piece we sell. Unlike most online jewelers, we have a real brick-and-mortar location you can visit. Every diamond is independently graded by GIA or IGI — no in-house grading, no inflated specs. Our transparent pricing means no hidden markups: diamond price plus setting price equals your total.
