Popular among shoppers are classic diamond stud earrings, both mined and lab-grown. Diamonds-by-theinch necklaces can be purchased in different lengths and carat weights, starting at $999. The jewelers can work with a customer to create a custom piece, or shoppers can try on different bands and jewels, for that perfect ring.

“We really love what we do and take pride in delivering quality, whether that’s doing a great job on a repair, designing a custom piece or just being part of someone having a great shopping experience,” Angelica said.

“We don’t take shortcuts or try to sell you something you don’t need,” she said. “We love that jewelry is so sentimental, and we aim to make it last. We love that our customers share their stories and big moments with us, and continue to come back again and again. We love building relationships and community.”

Angelica grew up watching her father and grandfathers work side by side in the jewelry industry. She joined the business after high school, and now, 14 years later, her children come to the store and watch their father, Andrew, and grandfather, Dave, work side by side.

“It’s a really cool legacy that has been built over generations, and it’s an honor to be a part of it,” she said. “Our families’ stories exist because of, and are interwoven with, our customers over the years.”

The store is family-owned and -operated, so there’s no pressure to buy, because there are no commissions. Shopping is relaxed and low-key. Prices are marked clearly in the display cases, so there is no sticker shock, and customers don’t have to ask about the prices.

Stop in with your wish list — or ask to have your list kept on file. Whether you want to spend a little extra on a gift for your spouse, or are looking to find an affordable piece of jewelry that you can pick up for family members, friends or teachers, gifts are available from less than $50.
