Elite Fine Jewelers Named “Best Jeweler” in Arizona Bride Magazine’s Best of 2026 Awards

TEMPE, AZ – August 14, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Elite Fine Jewelers has been named “Best Jeweler” in Arizona Bride magazine’s annual “Best of 2026” awards. The regional publication announced the category winners during an industry ceremony held on May 27 at Chateau Luxe in Phoenix, with complete results published in the magazine’s Fall/Winter print edition and online at azbridemag.com.

The designation recognizes Elite Fine Jewelers in the jewelry retail category following an open voting period in which Arizona Bride readers, engaged couples, and wedding industry participants cast thousands of votes across statewide vendor categories. Finalists in the jewelry category included Cassy Saba Jewelry, House of Diamonds, Oliver Smith Jeweler, and The Diamond Guys.

“Receiving the ‘Best Jeweler’ title from Arizona Bride is a meaningful milestone for our entire team,” said Ashley Cohen, spokesperson for Elite Fine Jewelers. “For three generations, our family business has focused on providing clear guidance, detailed craftsmanship, and a consistent standard of service for couples selecting bridal jewelry. This recognition reflects our commitment to our clients and the Phoenix community.”

A focal point of the store’s operations is its custom bridal jewelry department. The retailer features an in-house master bench jeweler who constructs custom settings on-site at the company’s Tempe showroom. Utilizing a collaborative design process guided by the motto “If you can dream it, we can make it,” clients consult directly with trained staff to develop custom engagement rings and wedding bands tailored to specific design parameters.

The custom design workflow incorporates natural diamonds accompanied by Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grading reports as well as lab-grown options across various cuts, clarities, and carat weights. By presenting independent grading documentation—which verifies specific dimensions, color grades, and clarity ratings—and technical specifications for both natural and lab-created stones, the jeweler allows clients to evaluate options based on objective, standardized gemological criteria.

Located at 805 N Scottsdale Road in Tempe, Elite Fine Jewelers operates as a family-owned business with a legacy spanning over 70 years. As a third-generation retailer, the store maintains established service relationships with clients throughout Tempe, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Chandler, and the broader Phoenix metropolitan area.

In addition to custom engagement rings and wedding bands, the showroom maintains an inventory of curated estate jewelry, luxury timepieces, and contemporary bridal pieces. Services offered at the location include heirloom restoration, jewelry repair, custom metal fabrication, stone setting, and specialized fitting services.

The annual Arizona Bride “Best of” awards highlight regional vendors across more than 30 wedding industry categories, including bridal boutiques, event planners, floral designers, caterers, photographers, and venues. Arizona Bride serves as a regional publication providing planning resources, vendor directories, and feature coverage for couples planning weddings throughout Arizona.

“This recognition highlights the relationship we have built with our local community over the years,” Cohen added. “Whether assisting a client with a custom engagement ring, a vintage estate piece, or bridal party jewelry, our objective remains centered on delivering an authentic, informative experience rooted in technical expertise.”
