Paul Bensel Jewelers: A Brief History

Paul Bensel Jewelers has been a family owned and operated business for over 40 years. Paul Bensel became part owner of Gartland Jewelers, which then became Gartland and Bensel Jewelers in 1983, and then became the sole owner of Paul Bensel Jewelers in 1990. Paul Bensel Successfully grew Paul Bensel Jewelers from a small custom jewelry shop into Yuma County's largest and most respected manufacturing retail jewelry store.

In 2013 James Bensel took over as Chief Operator of Paul Bensel Jewelers, subsequently recruiting his siblings (Lorelei, Warren and Isaiah) into the business, and now all three play vital roles in the success of the business. Today, Paul Bensel Jewelers has an exceptional team of professionals on site: Four expert goldsmiths with a combined 65 years of experience, along with a team of six GIA Accreddited Jewelry Professionals who help clients with everything from ring sizing to finding the perfect engagement ring or anniversary gift, to designing beautiful one-of-a-kind pieces.

Paul Bensel Jewelers has an extensive selection of all the essentials: Beautiful GIA certified diamonds, exquisite natural gemstones such as Rubies, Emeralds, Sapphires, Opal, Tourmaline and many more. Our showroom is also stocked full of custom designed, handmade jewelry, exceptional estate jewelry with period peices ranging from Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco Items; along with basics such as diamond earrings, pendants, bracelets and much more.

Even with the largest selection of in stock fine jewelry, diamonds and gemstones in the Southwest, along with the ability to do the highest quality repair work and manufacturing in-house, Paul Bensel Jewelers believes emphatically that this is not why people select us as the jeweler of choice in the Soutwest. What differentiates Paul Bensel Jewelers from other jewelers (and other businesses in general) is our obsession with and dedication to service, and our belief that if we treat people great and do the right thing then people will do business with us and recommend their friends and family to us as well.

Yes, we do eat, sleep, drink and live jewelry, but the reason that we have the success that we do - the reason that we have been voted Yuma's Best Jewelry Store for 20 years in a row - is that we genuinely care about our clients. We strive above all else to always do the right thing, treat people great, and stop at nothing to ensure that our clients are excited to do business with us because they know that we treat our clients like family.
