What Raskin Jewelers, Ltd. does

Raskin Jewelers, Ltd. is a privately held, family-run jewelry retailer operating from a single retail showroom at 110 W. Gurley Street in downtown Prescott, Arizona, supplemented by a Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront at raskinsjewelers.com. Founded by Melvin Raskin in Oklahoma City in 1935, the firm expanded to Prescott in 1963 under Lynn Raskin and was acquired in January 2023 by Jim Carlisto and his son James Carlisto, who retained the Raskin brand. The company sells diamond and gemstone engagement rings, wedding bands, bridal sets, fashion earrings, pendants, and bracelets, sourced from authorized designer partners including ASHI (its dominant vendor), Shy Creation, Allison Kaufman, Sylvie Jewelry, Stuller, and Quality Gold, alongside loose conflict-free diamonds and in-house custom design work.

The product line spans price points from approximately $90 (entry-level earrings) to $8,260 (bridal sets), with engagement rings typically $1,640–$8,000, offered in 10KT/14KT/18KT gold (white, yellow, rose), platinum, and sterling silver. The business operates a direct-to-consumer omnichannel model: in-store personalized consultation for significant purchases (engagement rings, bridal sets), plus online browsing, phone-based sales support, 0% APR Buy Now Pay Later financing, e-catalogs (Bridal Book 2026, Holiday 2024 Gift Book), and an email newsletter. Revenue is generated entirely through one-time unit sales with no subscription, recurring, or service-contract component.

Operations are lean at 1–10 employees, serving the Prescott and Northern Arizona community physically and a national audience online. Customer testimonials and product details indicate the core buyer is an individual consumer purchasing bridal jewelry or a gift, supported by gemologically trained staff and in-house jewelry repair services. No external investors, private equity, venture capital, or parent-company ownership is disclosed, and the firm has not raised funding rounds.
