What Is the History of Hustedt Jewelers?
Hustedt Jewelers' roots began in 1980 when Larry Hustedt started Hustedt Manufacturing alongside his wife, Ursula. It began as a wholesale company that worked with retail stores countrywide. Hustedt Manufacturing provides these stores with custom designs, manufacturing, and jewelry repair services. Three years after the opening of Hustedt Manufacturing, Larry and Ursula opened their services up to the public by purchasing Hoover Jewelers in Gibson City, Illinois. In 2013, Larry and Ursula's son, Kevin, purchased Hustedt Jewelers and opened a second location in 2016. Most recently, the business expanded in 2019 with the purchase of W.M. Marken Jewelers in Bloomington, Illinois.
We have two retail locations, one in Gibson City, Illinois, and another in Bloomington, Illinois. We also work alongside various retail stores, including the following:
