Jim Robuck started in the jewelry business in the mid-1960s as a watchmaker and worked in the jewelry field primarily as a watchmaker until he and his wife, Charlene, opened their own store in Historic North Topeka in 1998. What started out as a small repair shop in 1998 quickly grew into a full-line jewelry store. Within three months of moving to North Topeka, Jim and Charlene purchased the former Shawnee State Bank Building at the corner of Kansas Avenue and Laurent Street and opened a full-line jewelry store. Robuck Jewelers features everything from the latest in fashion to estate and antique jewelry - including several lines that are exclusive to their store in the Topeka area. They also carry a large selection of both new and estate watches and clocks. If you are looking for a watchband, look no further. Robuck Jewelers has the largest selection of watchbands anywhere. If you have an older watch and want an original band, look no further.
Jim and Charlene also offer a full-service repair department for not only jewelry but for all types of watches, including Rolex watches, and all types of clocks, including grandfather clocks. All repair work is done on-site by highly trained, professional repair personnel.
Jim and Charlene pride themselves in providing price points that will meet every person's need while at the same time giving each customer the same professional, helpful and friendly service. If you are ever unhappy with our service -- for any reason -- we want to know. We cannot correct an issue if we aren't aware of it.
Robuck Jewelers is a unique experience in Historic Downtown North Topeka. Many of our customers say we are the best kept secret in Topeka. You must come see for yourself.
Unlike most jewelry stores, we complete all services onsite. We take great pride in our service. Should we ever fall short of your expectations, we want to know and will do everything possible to gain your confidence and meet those expectations.

Jewelry Repair
Robuck Jewelers does all types of jewelry repair including remounts, redesign, and fabrication. With today's gold prices, it is prudent to consider repairing, remounting or re-designing your older jewelry pieces to give them a fresh new look or modern design. All jewelry repair is completed on-site by experienced jewelers. See our specific jewelry repair category on this website for more detailed information.
Restringing
If you have pearls or beads that need restringing, Robuck Jewelers can provide that service.
Watch Repair
Jim Robuck has been a Watchmaker for over 40 years and for many years served as Santa Fe's watch inspector. There are very few legitimate watchmakers remaining across the United States. All watch repair at Robuck Jewelers is done on site and with few exceptions watch repair is guaranteed for one year. See our specific watch repair category on this website for more specific details.
Clock Repair
Like watch repair, clock repair is also becoming a lost art; however, Robuck Jewelers does repair all types of clocks, including Grandfather clocks. Except for Grandfather clocks, all clocks must be brought into the store. See our specific clock repair category on this website for additional information.
Robuck Jewelers also offers a service to their customers that isn't found at most jewelry stores. Jim and Charlene can serve as your private diamond broker. Because of their exclusive membership in the Independent Jeweler Organization (IJO), they are able to travel to Antwerp, Belgium and meet directly with the diamond cutters to select the perfect diamond for you from hundreds of parcels of cut diamonds. Belgium's reputation for cutting diamonds has progressed to embrace the distinction of being the largest diamond trading center in the world. No request is too large or too small. A diamond hand-selected directly from the diamond cutter is the ultimate diamond purchase.
