Luisa Graff Jewelers

What Luisa Graff Jewelers does

Luisa Graff Jewelers is a family-owned, independent jewelry retailer headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, operating from a single 8,000-square-foot destination storefront at 5901 N Nevada Ave. Founded by Luisa Graff and co-owned with Andrew Graff, the business is an 11-50 employee private company that has been locally recognized as 'Best of the Springs' for over 14 consecutive years and holds a BBB Excellence in Customer Service award. The company sells natural and lab-grown diamonds, engagement rings, wedding bands, fashion jewelry (bracelets, earrings, necklaces, pendants, watches), and gemstones across a price range from approximately $649 entry-level wedding bands to $24,799+ premium engagement rings.

The store's core technology is a CAD/CAM system that produces hyper-realistic, interactive 3D renderings of custom jewelry designs, paired with state-of-the-art wax carving technology that allows customers to view the manufacturing process via microscope-connected display. In-house master jewelers perform a significant portion of fabrication, including casting and finishing on-site. The product lineup spans 2,000+ catalog items across the proprietary Louisa Graff brand and three signature sub-brands—Intrigue (signature fine jewelry), Above Love (lab-grown diamond engagement/earrings), and Floating Diamonds—plus designer brands Kim International, Ava Couture (with an integrated Eternity Ring Builder), Benchmark (men's rings), and Simply Diamonds.

Revenue is generated through one-time product sales (jewelry, diamonds, gemstones, watches), bespoke custom design services (consultation to CAD to casting), and ancillary services including jewelry repair, ring sizing, gold buying, appraisals, insurance evaluations, engraving, jewelry insurance, and financing/layaway. The go-to-market is community-led, emphasizing a pressure-free, in-store experience contrasting with impersonal superstores, supported by a multi-channel marketing mix spanning Instagram, Facebook/Google reviews, YouTube, an educational blog, email newsletters, local events (e.g., 'Christmas in July'), and local award recognition. Customers are primarily bridal buyers and local Colorado Springs residents, with a secondary segment of custom-design seekers drawn from across state lines.
