Mackley and Company is a family business founded in 1980 by Joe Mackley. This start was with a desk, a chair, a telephone and a few dollars to purchase a gem microscope.
Joe's upbringing became the focus of Mackley &
Company from Mackley family tradition. Joe's mother was the backbone
of the family for teaching values and made sure those
values became part of him. Joe's Dad (his middle name is Jewell)
taught him that anything worthwhile was worth doing well.
Both parents taught by example. The future of Mackley
& Company as jewelers and gemologists is having those
same values in place as they continue to function everyday.
This initial business emphasis was for jewelry appraisal services, shortly later the addition of the importation of East African gem rough for lapidary and marketing to the retail trade. Later the addition of Suzanne (Joe's wife) and Darryl (son) brought about additions into the marketing of estate jewelry and then a retail business of their own. Suzanne insists she is not the 'secretary' but she is a partner/office manager. She has been the one to do those multitude of 'time consuming' details and tasks' that are so important and part of the everyday duties of a business.
Darryl, is the president of Mackley & Company. He too brought those initial values coupled with the Golden Rule and these have become the foundation of this business. New employee Cathy Honken has brought us new insight with a smile.
Our mission statement is in our motto . . . simply 'Where Knowledge & Ethics Serve You Best'.
This is where we take our gemological knowledge (two gemologists) and blend this with good business ethics
to give you personalized service in gemstone and jewelry sales,
design-repairs, appraisals and liquidation. Our goal
is to provide you the customer/client with better value
and quality and hopefully
for a lesser outlay of funds than they are likely to find
in other venues
using correct gemological grading.
We strive
every day to earn our customers' and clients' trust through
quality, service and value; also to being 'top of mind'
to people looking
to celebrate life's measures.
We are recognized
locally and nationally as having
the finest accredited gemologists and
gemological laboratory

The outcome
is clear . . .

life.
