I am the third generation of my family’s 73 year old personal jewelry business. What started as my grandfather selling assorted pawn shop jewelry to his friends and family has since turned into a business that provides private, white glove jewelry services to almost 1,000 people a year. From custom diamond engagement rings to bracelets, earrings, and timepieces, we do it all. For some it’s a $200 graduation gift, for others it’s a $50,000 engagement ring. Whatever your needs may be, we can help.We have always prided ourselves on our personalized service, exceptional gold, silver, platinum, colored gemstone and diamond quality, and artisan craftsmanship. And because we’re strictly family owned and operated, you're always dealing with an owner of the business. And because of our private office operation, every one of our customers is the result of a word of mouth referral.
