Third Generation Satterlee Jewelers Back In Redmond

By Judy Barnes

The jewelry business is a family tradition for Sean Satterlee, who represents the third generation in the business started in 1941 by his grandfather and great-uncle in Redmond, Oregon under the name of Satterlee Bros. The original store was opened by Floyd and Lloyd Satterlee just blocks from where the new one now stands.

In the beginning the brothers did a repair business on watches and jewelry, but the business expanded to the retail of jewelry in 1949. Later, Floyd, Sean’s grandfather, moved to Prineville and started a second store in that area. A third store was opened by Floyd’s son Doyle and his wife in the town of Madras during a booming time in 1961.

It has been a sixty-three year procession when in 2004 Doyle’s son, Sean and his wife Keri, moved their Madras store back to Redmond. Sean had taken over the Madras store in 1989, expanding the business and changing the name to Satterlee Jewelers.

Sean has won two awards in the regional Jewelry Design Awards for designs he submitted in 1995 and 1997. Both he and Keri offer the same friendly, dedicated service the family has been known for over the years. Besides featuring a selection of diamond and birthstone jewelry, they have gold and sterling silver, as well as Accutron and Seiko watches to choose from and an array of colored diamond jewelry in styles suited for both women and men.

After a thirty year span, Redmond welcomes the Satterlee family business back to town. The new store is decorated in a timely western fashion with a touch of class that is uniquely befitting the owners. Sean and Keri are looking forward to meeting and serving Central Oregon.
