Ernst Names Small Business of the Week, Hands Jewelers

RED OAK, Iowa - U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, today announced her Small Business of the Week: Hands Jewelers of Johnson County. Throughout the 119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in each of Iowa's 99 counties.

"Hands Jewelers is a rock-solid example of the enduring strength of Iowa small businesses," said Chair Ernst. "For more than a century, the Nusser family has demonstrated a diamond standard of excellence in their craftsmanship, innovation, and community engagement, helping generations of Iowans celebrate life's most meaningful moments. They are a true Iowa City gem."

John Hands moved to Iowa City in 1893 and shortly after opened up his first jewelry store, which later transformed into what we now know as Hands Jewelers.Soon in its fifth generation of family ownership, Hands Jewelers is continuing a legacy built on trust, quality, and dedication to the Iowa City community. For over a century, Hands Jewelers has provided high-quality jewelry and personalized service, helping customers commemorate milestones, from engagements and weddings to anniversaries and family traditions.

Stay tuned as Chair Ernst continues to recognize outstanding Iowa small businesses with her Small Business of the Week award.
