Terri’s husband, Howard Herman,
and Rob’s wife, Debe Weinberger,
also work at the store, always greet-
ing customers with a smile.
Emery’s is ideal for any occasion,
but the store features plenty of daz-
zling engagement rings and wedding
bands. As of late, Emery’s is high-
lighting the Gabriel New York bridal
line.
“Since we do custom work, we try
to put together what the customers
want — every customer wants to be
involved in their own design,” says
Rob.
At Emery’s, visitors can expect far
more than your average ring selec-
tion, either selecting a traditional
style or collaborating with Rob to
create their own personal look.
Rob and Ali are especially savvy
about ring trends. While solitaire
rings made with 14-karat white gold
are longtime favorites, many brides-
to-be are leaning toward rose gold
and mixed metals. Yellow gold is
also making a comeback these days.
Ali points out ring stacking is
another new fad worth exploring.
Customers are now opting for thin,
stackable rings studded with dia-
monds or other stones to add some
flair. “It’s a great way to change up
your already existing set,” Ali says.
To add style to wedding bands,
designs featuring small shapes, such
as dainty hearts set with diamond
studs around the perimeter, are
growing in popularity, too.
Even if customers have a ring style
in mind ahead of time, Rob recom-
mends visiting the store at least
two months before the big proposal.
For ideas on opportune moments
to pop the question, check out one
of the latest Emery’s blog entries on

its website, emeryscreativejewelers.
com, detailing the top proposal days.
Valentine’s Day, Christmas and New
Year’s Eve are not surprisingly some
of the top contenders.
While Emery’s specializes in
creating a seamless ring-shopping
experience, it offers pieces for
both men and women of all ages,
whether for a birthday, anniversary,
bar or bat mitzvah or just because.
the Emery’s team makes sure to
not only feature popular brands,
but also highlight the work of local
Michigan artists.
Many folks in the community
also know a fun fact about Emery’s
— Rob is an ear-piercing pro and
has been carefully placing shiny
studs in the ears of generations
of customers. Repairs are another
specialty, and he does them all with
care.
Dedicated Emery’s patrons also
know a second fact — there is zero
pressure while shopping for that
special item. “From way back, my
dad always projected that it’s not
about what you’re spending,” Terri
says. “People can spend $5 or $5,000
— we just want everyone to feel
comfortable.”
With a family that has so much
love for their craft, it is no surprise
that locals can trust Emery’s. Better
yet, Emery’s regulars continue to
introduce family and friends to the
store.
“We’ve been a jeweler since 1967.
To last as long as we have and still
thrive says something,” Rob says.
It is clear he and his family
are doing something right — the
Emery’s name continues to shine
brightly. •
