Who we are...
Our mission at M.J.B. Jewelers is to treat our customers individually and fairly.
We are not high pressure salespeople who are pushing for a sale.
We are a caring, understanding staff whose purpose is to make your purchase affordable and within your budget.
We want your experience here to be memorable and rewarding.
We have won The Bellingham Herald's Readers' Choice Award for Best Jewelers in 2011 and 2008. We've also won Bellingham Alive's Best Jewelry Store in 2010 and an Honorable Mention in 2011.
