About Us

Everyone has to believe in something.

Everyone has to believe in something.

Here are some of the important things we believe in:

We believe in speaking the truth, even if it is not to our advantage.

We believe in doing the right thing, not the easy thing.

We believe in letting you trade your diamond in when you outgrow it.

We believe low quality jewelry is never a good value.

We believe in good food, good wine and good conversation.

We believe in giving you back your money when somethings not right and we can't fix it.

We believe in asking for forgiveness when we screw up.

We believe in unexpected gifts at unexpected times.

We believe every woman deserves a beautiful diamond.

We believe in conducting ourselves honestly in all things.

We believe quality should be affordable.

We're Driven to Make You Happy!

1. First, we gotta start with the quality of the jewelry, diamonds and gemstones. Long after you forget about how the salesperson treated you, long after you forget about the price you paid, you still have that diamond ring. And you’re going to love it for years and years. Because we are super picky on quality, you benefit. This goes along with the next point...
2. We aren’t your mall jeweler, that’s for dang sure. Granted from a business perspective, we could make a lot more money patterning our business off those mall jewelers like Kays and Zales. But we refuse to sell low quality, lightweight jewelry with cloudy diamonds. We can buy this crap too, super cheap, and sell it to you for big profit margins. But seriously, we don’t want our good name attached to lousy quality jewelry. The jewelry you get from Yates is built with more metal in the ring - so it lasts longer. Thicker prongs on the diamonds - so the diamonds don’t fall out so easily. Diamonds that sparkle and you aren’t embarrassed to show another jeweler.
3. We aren’t pushy. If you have to be pushy to be a great salesperson, then we aren’t great salespeople. We try to live by the golden rule, “treat others the way you want to be treated.” And no one likes to “be sold to”. High pressure sales tactics? We don’t even know how to use those. Didn’t take that class.
4. You get it your way. You are unique. Shouldn’t your jewelry also be? Do you really want the same ring as one of your friends? Or the lady in line next to you at the supermarket? At Yates, you can customize to your heart’s content! Your ideas will come to life.
5. We want you to get a great deal! One of the things that makes us feel really good is to hear folks tell us how happy they are that they got a better diamond for less money. Happy customers tell their friends and family. And we love making them happy too.

What do you like to do in your free time? When I’m not in my office you can find me out riding my horses, obsessing on my lawn work, or listening to live music at a honky tonk.

About Yates & Co Jewelers

In 1988, Ron and Mechelle Yates opened their first retail store, California Coin & Jewelry in Modesto, CA. They bought and sold rare coins, estate jewelry and diamonds from private individuals and estates. Most of the jewelry was resold to jewelry wholesalers and local jewelers. After a few years, the focus of the business and the name was changed to Yates & Co Jewelers.
In 2002, we opened our first e-commerce jewelry website, www.Titanium-Jewelry.com. This website specializes in modern jewelry made of contemporary metals such as titanium, tungsten, cobalt, meteorite, damascus steel - and other cool stuff for guys. Titanium-Jewelry.com is an industry leader and innovator in its niche. We've served customers in every state and 27 countries around the world. You can come in to our store and physically try on any of the styles that are found on www.Titanium-Jewelry.com.
