Charles H. Ganske Personal Jeweler

About Us

I'm Charles H. Ganske, and I've been a personal Jeweler here in Urbandale, IA, since 2009. I believe in Personal attention to detail, offering custom designs, diamond and gem stone education, and upscale luxury jewelry. I started this business after 18 years of working in a retail jewelry store and I want you, my client, to have a wonderful adventure when selecting, purchasing, owning and wearing a piece of jewelry. I want every part of the experience to be a joy; after all diamonds, gemstones and jewelry are pure beauty and pleasure. I'm looking forward to growing my business to continue to serve the greater Des Moines area. I'd like to personally invite you to come in today for your personalized experience while choosing and designing the perfect piece.

Testimonials

On 6/3/2025 Lisa Ivanovich had this to say:
Update 6/3/25 - just had another great experience with Charles! I love that I can call/email to pop in and have him check my jewelry and get them cleaned. He's awesome!! Do yourself a favor and go see Charles! He's great at listening to what you want and giving you an education on jewelry. There was no pressure and he made it such an easy process. I just have to add to my review that I have gotten so many compliments on my ring. There is such a difference between a personal jeweler and the big box jewelry stores. I can call or email Charles if I have questions or concerns or I can stop in and have him take a look at it. So many positives that he knows ME and I'm not just some random walk in person.

Such an easy process. He read my mind when I came to what I wanted and my vision. We designed a beautiful moss agate ring together and it was ready in less than two months. He made sure we had the paperwork for insurance and gave me cleaner and told me if I needed more just to come back! Stress free and easy!

If you are looking for a wonderful experience for your jewelry needs Charles is wonderful. I went to him to assist in creating a custom engagement ring. Charles took the time to listen to my ideas and then guide and offer suggestions when needed. He also took the time to educate me on the gems I was including in the ring and was patient with all of my questions. If you are looking to create a special piece of jewelry and feel like you are part of the process I highly recommend Charles
