About Us

Our Mission

To provide excellence in customer service, the best value in jewelry product and design, and expert advice within our industry to customers who become friends, who leave our business feeling accepted, loved, and celebrated.

Our Passion

We actually have two.  Our first is community.  Our second is design.  And jewelry is woven into the tapestry of them both.  Our business gives us an opportunity and inlet for impact in the community.  This matters!  We love what we do, in part, because it's a highway to the bigger picture.  Jewelry is emotional... and beautiful... and personal... and relational.  All of this connects us to people, which are our passion.  And then there is design - the magical process of taking someone's idea and helping it take shape into a piece of jewelry that will be treasured and often passed down to future generations, from simple to complex, whether with a customer's own metals/gemstones or beginning with new materials.  Dream it, sketch it, pin it, or describe it.  We will listen carefully and go to work.
