At LaBiche Jewelers the passion for beautiful jewelry and friendly service is obvious. From our buyers who scour the world for that perfect gift, to our friendly sales team whose vast knowledge of both products and people can help guide you through the most difficult of purchasing decisions. From engagement rings and anniversary bands to that perfect Christmas and Valentines Day gift, LaBiche offers you the ultimate shopping experience.
When you buy from us, you will get good advice from a professional, someone who eats, breathes and sleeps jewelry. We have gemological training, read professional journals to keep up to date, travel to trade fairs and seminars and learn all about the products we offer. We can help you be an educated buyer and choose the jewelry that is just right for your lifestyle.
Steven LaBiche: Owner/Jeweler / CEO
Steven has over 35 years of experience in the Jewelry Industry starting as an apprentice at the bench under his father's supervision in 1980. He is a very talented bench jeweler and he keeps current - attending "hands on" training as well as seminars and theory training sessions at various trade shows throughout the country. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Mississippi Jewelers Association (MJA) and is a member of the GIA Alumni Association.
Tricia LaBiche: Manager / COO
Tricia has been in the business with her husband Steven since 2008. Like her husband, she is also an Alumnus of GIA. Tricia manages the day to day operations of the store, attends trade shows and meets with vendors and prospective vendors. She also maintains our active Facebook page. If you have not “liked” our page, I urge you to do so. There you can see many examples of our jewelry and find fun jewelry facts. It is difficult for us to have all of our jewelry on a website because our jewelry inventory changes daily and many of our pieces are one of a kind. Like our page and you will see many of the pieces before they are even available in the showcases.
Elizabeth LaBiche Pharis: Jewelry Consultant / Engraving Department
Elizabeth, Steven's sister, has also grown up in the jewelry business. She is skilled in finding just the right thing to suit your individual tastes. If we don't carry it, she can find it or help you design it. Elizabeth attends trade shows and seminars to keep her knowledge and skills up to date and is also in charge of our engraving department.
