Services





Sales



At Keenans, you won't find a sales commission motivated high pressure sales staff. Instead, you will find a pleasant, friendly, laid back atmosphere, and people who are truly interested in helping you find a piece of jewelry you will be proud to own or give.



Service



When you have a piece of jewelry that requires some attention--from a simple repair to total restoration--you can count on Keenan Jewelers to provide you with expert service you can trust. Our on-site shop combines the best of old world craftsmanship with the latest technology to provide our customers with the best service around.



Custom Design & Manufacturing



If you have an idea for a special one of a kind piece, let us help you make it happen. At Keenan Jewelers, we employ state-of-the-art CAD modeling technology to craft a custom piece of jewelry that meets any and all needs. From a special engagement ring to an elk ivory ring--we can do it all!



Layaway



We still offer good old fashioned layaway with easy terms, and right now is the perfect time to layaway that special piece for yourself or for life's next special occasion.



Engraving



We offer on-site custom engraving so you can personalize that special gift. In addition, we are also able to engrave inside of most rings.



Free Jewelry Inspection and Cleaning



We offer free inspection and cleaning of your jewelry while you wait. We recommend you have your jewelry inspected at least every six months.



About us



For 60 years, our simple mission has been to provide superior quality jewelry at very competitive prices and follow it up with unmatched service after the sale in a fun, relaxed, no sales pressure setting.



When he finally had saved enough to open up his own jewelry shop, Jim Keenan Sr. put in his last shift in Butte's underground mines. On August 8, 1955, Jim, the son of Irish immigrants to Butte, opened his shop in uptown Butte. There, he put to work the skills he learned as a jeweler for Mr. Chris Goodman, who gave Jim his start in the jewelry business at the age of 13. From 1955 until 1971 Jim operated his shop where he specialized in all aspects of jewelry repair and manufacturing. In 1971, Jim and his wife Shirley opened Keenan Jewelers in the Butte Plaza Mall, where several of the Keenan's children worked in the store through the years. In 1998, Jim and Shirley retired from the business and sold to three of the Keenan siblings--Jim Keenan, Rita Ronning, and Rhonda Lee. In 2012, Rita Ronning retired from the store. After 40+ years in the business, she still occasionally helps out at Keenan's.


Keenan Jewelers is a full service jewelry store featuring high quality diamond and gemstone jewelry, watches, and other fashionable and affordable gold and silver jewelry. Unlike the mass marketed, cookie-cutter jewelry you'll find at many stores, each piece of the Keenan's collection is hand picked and must meet our stringent requirements for quality, style, and value. We still offer the services the business was built on, offering in-house repairs, expert stone setting, laser welding, and custom work. Jim Keenan is a JA Certified Bench Jeweler, and Ryan Lee--a third generation in the business--has had training at the New Approach School for Jewelers in Virginia Beach, VA.

Diamonds





At Keenan Jewelers, we would never buy a diamond for our inventory by looking only at its specifications and price--and we don't think you should either.



We've learned that you can't truly evaluate a diamond unitl you hold it in your hand, study it under magnification, and compare it side by side with other diamonds. At Keenan Jewelers, we'll take the time to demonstrate and explain the factors that determine the value of a diamond, so you can make an informed decision. And, when you purchase a diamond from Keenan's, you can be confident that you are getting what you paid for getting it at a very competitive price and that you are going to get unmatched service after the sale.
