Our first store originally opened in Chillicothe, Missouri, when Ken & Brenda Lauhoff went into the jewelry business in 1976. During that time, they raised three children and are now active with six grandchildren. Their son, Darren, and his wife, Angie, opened a Trenton, Missouri, store in 2000. The Lauhoffs travel to Antwerp, Belgium, personally to select the highest quality diamonds for their stores. That extra effort and special care are trademarks of the Lauhoff Jewelry family tradition.
