Chinawest
Jewlers

Paul and Kathy Yih opened their doors in 1975 through their gemstone connections in Brazil. After being one of the first colored stone wholesalers in the United States, they decided to open a retail venue in Lake Geneva, WI in 1977. The stunning Lake Geneva store has been the flaship location for Chinawest Jewelers of Lake Geneva. It is one of the hallmark stores in Main Street in resort town of Lake Geneva. As part of the brand, for over 25 years, they have actively supplied major wholesalers and retailers world-wide with both rough and faceted Brazilian gemstones. Amonth them were well known American companies such as Sharper Image, Montgomery Wards, Fortunoffs, and Greyhound Leisure Travel. 

What separates Chinawest Jewelers from other personally owned jewelry stores is the result of the unmatched collection of colored gemstones selectively collected over the many years of business. The Yih's have accessed some of the best gem sculptors in the world. Geraldo Brandao, of Brazil, for example has been a personal faceter for Chinawest Jewelers for over 25 years.
