About

Fourth Generation Jewelers

Story

Siebke Hoyt was founded 1889 by George B. Ludy and Robert P. Taylor, two experienced watchmakers. Ludy and Taylor Jewelers, as it was originally known, was located at 225 First Avenue NE.

In 1914, Ludy and Taylor hired a young watchmaker, Gustav Siebke, to help them with their business. Gustav Siebke, a graduate of Bradley-Horological Institute, became a full partner in 1921, and the name of the business was changed to Siebke and Taylor Company.

Joseph Hoyt, another young watchmaker and jeweler, marred Marilyn Siebke, Gus Siebke’s daughter, on October 1, 1945, after returning from service in World War II. Joseph joined the company in 1946 and became a full partner in 1953.

The name of the firm was changed to Siebke Hoyt to reflect the actual ownership. Pearl Taylor, Robert Taylor’s wife, had previously sold her share of the business to Joseph Hoyt.

Gus Siebke died on December 24, 1973, following a long illness. The 83-year-old Siebke was chairman of the board of Siebke Hoyt at the time of the death. Joseph M. Hoyt continued to work at Siebke Hoyt, retiring in January 1975. He was chairman of the board at the time of his death on May 6, 1983 in Orlando, Florida.

Joseph “Jay” Hoyt, the current president of Siebke Hoyt, joined the company during the Christmas season of 1974. His younger brother, Thomas, joined Siebke Hoyt in 1986. Thomas serves as Vice President of Siebke Hoyt Jewelers.

In late 2011, Joseph “Jay” Hoyt’s son, Joseph Thomas Hoyt joined the company. After being schooled at GIA, he now helps his Father and Uncle with all the operations of the store.

Jay and Tom Hoyt operate their store with the philosophy of quality merchandise at a fair price. Siebke Hoyt’s sales figures have resend dramatically over the past years. The reason is simple – VALUE - and the finest trained sales staff in the Midwest.

I was on a mission looking for a ring to cover my finger for on occasions when I need to cover it. Don't get me wrong I love my dad but in the professional world sometimes it needs to be covered. Jake helped me find that ring! I was undecided and came back on Valentine's Day to purchase the ring. Jake was busy and Joe stepped in because I'm not a very patient person and started to work towards that purchase with me. Both times I was there I was immediately greeted and offered something to drink. Very personable place to shop for jewelry. Mean it was Valentine's Day when I made my purchase I came home with a dozen red roses and a box of chocolate-covered strawberries along with the good deal I was given ⚘ I am anxiously awaiting the sizing so I can wear my new purchase! It was a great experience and I highly advise them 💍 ❤ Dar says Thank you Jake and Joe 🖒

Jake has been wonderful. From helping my husband pick out the best engagement ring all the way to finding the perfect wedding band. We were able to customize my husband's band and engrave it. They are always willing to clean and check my ring (and whatever other jewelry I have on) whenever I stop by. Very professional and much better service, pricing, and quality compared to chain jewelers. Highly recommend!!!!

Couldn't be happier with my experience at Siebke Hoyt Jewlers. I was referred by a good friend who worked with Joe and said you couldn't beat the customer service with these guys. He was right! Since I live in the devils armpit (Arizona) I couldn't physically visit the store. I shot Joe a text and within ten minutes got a response. After discussing what I was looking for, Joe sent over 4 options with detailed pictures. After reviewing the options I quickly found the perfect ring. Joe was extremely helpful, knew exactly what I was looking for and he even worked with my budget. I couldn't be happier with my experience it was quick and painless. I am beyond satisfied and would recommend these guys without hesitation.

Today a gentleman named Jake took care of me. He helped me pick out a pair of diamond stud earrings, which my wife was delighted to receive this evening. In addition, SH gave me some chocolates and a dozen roses which our boys were able to give her. The reason I shop here is due to the personal service, quality, their programs for potential future upgrades, traditional and more unique options, and for the small things like the flowers and chocolates. As we have begun buying more jewelry I have enjoyed knowing I have a jeweler partner, thanks SH.

We got a new setting for my 1ct diamond here. It was beautiful but after a little while of wearing it I noticed that the sides were scratching my finger and it was uncomfortable to wear. When I spoke with the store associates about it they offered to re-set my diamond into a brand new custom design that would be more comfortable at no additional charge. The new setting is even more beautiful!!! And doesn't scratch at all. The service here is excellent, I would definitely return for any future jewelry purchases.
