Connecting Jewelry Since 1975

JK Findings was founded in Newark, New York in 1975 by John Kaupp as a wholesale supplier of precious metal jewelry findings and chain. Over the decades, the company expanded operations, invested in manufacturing technology, and relocated to Rochester, New York to support continued growth.

Today, JK Findings manufactures a majority of its product offerings in the USA while also partnering with global contract manufacturing facilities. Our team of more than 100 employees supports customers worldwide through our manufacturing facility, international sourcing capabilities, multilingual website, and dedicated customer service teams.

As one of the growing gold filled jewelry manufacturers serving the North American market, we remain focused on innovation, quality, and long-term industry partnerships.

In early 2020, our company was acquired by Jim Westman and Tim Tevens of Latitude 27 Capital, LLC upon the retirement of John Kaupp. Tim and Jim brought strong backgrounds in industrial businesses, both leading highly successful companies in growing through organic and inorganic means. They shared similar visions and values, understanding the importance of our employees and our customers.

Under our new ownership, the company has maintained its commitment to outstanding quality, delivery, and customer support while enhancing its new product development, geographic presence, and technological achievement.
