The Coffin & Trout Story

How We Became Arizona’s Master Jewelers

OUR MISSION

In 1984, Randy Coffin and David Trout founded Coffin & Trout Jewelers with a few simple yet vital values:

Create jewelry that is unique, beautiful and well-crafted.
Offer those designs at a good and fair value.
Provide exceptional customer service.

These pillars remain as fundamental to our business now as they were at the beginning.

our mission

RANDY COFFIN

Randy Coffin’s vision and dedication shaped Coffin & Trout from the moment he and partner David Trout founded it in 1984, leaving a legacy defined by exceptional craftsmanship, innovation, and integrity. His commitment to precision and his forward-thinking approach elevated not only our designs, but the experience we offer to every client.

Randy believed that fine jewelry should mark life’s most meaningful moments—and be crafted to last for generations. As we carry his legacy forward, we remain devoted to the values he instilled: timeless design, genuine connection, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

DAVID TROUT

The late David Trout, one of our founding partners, left an unforgettable impression on many people’s lives, and his spirit and legacy will live on in Coffin & Trout and all of the family members and friends he left behind. Renowned for his jewelry design, David earned numerous accolades, including for his Pagoda ring, which is now on display in the Smithsonian in Washington D.C.

Together with his business partner Randy Coffin, he created unique, beautiful and functional jewelry with a level of customer service that earned them the respect of customers and colleagues. David’s infectious smile, quick wit and genuine manner were the reasons why people were drawn to him. His charm and honesty were why they stayed. Dave, you are greatly missed.

The Legacy Continues

RYAN COFFIN

Growing up in and around the store, Ryan Coffin developed a love for fine jewelry and precision craftsmanship at a young age — a love that would blossom into a life-long passion.

Ryan formally joined the family business in 2011, becoming an integral part of our dedicated team. After a decade of observing, learning, and refining his skills under the expert guidance of his father, Randy Coffin, he developed a discerning eye for quality and detail.

In 2021, a new chapter began in the Coffin & Trout story when Randy passed the torch to Ryan. Today, as President, Ryan is extremely proud to now carry on the legacy that his father and Dave Trout worked so hard to build.

Under Ryan’s direction, Coffin & Trout continues to uphold its commitment to unparalleled quality and design. His leadership ensures that every piece meets our rigorous standards and continues to embody the exquisite craftsmanship and innovative design for which Coffin & Trout is renowned.
