While a love and appreciation for the sheer beauty of fine jewelry was definitely a draw to the profession, the most important factor in the jewelry business for Lynn and Barb Strauss has always been the people—their customers. As a result, they consider customer satisfaction their most important marker of success. Sharing the special moments of people’s lives, their weddings, anniversaries, and other remarkable occasions, is one of the best benefits of their work. Today, Strauss Jewelers has grown into the vision Barb and Lynn began with—an extraordinary jewelry store where long-lasting customer relationships and excellent customer service are the foundation for success.
