History

Established in 1984.

Brian started working at a large Minneapolis jewelry manufacturing plant at age 16. He was trained in all phases of jewelry design and manufacturing. He left the company to exhibit some of his own creations to the trade. He sold his designs to retail jewelers throughout the mid west five state area. He did resetting events for his retail accounts so their customers could watch while Brian reset their diamonds into his original and creative designs. Brian opened his first retail store in Wayzata, Minnesota and then a second store in Excelsior, MN. Brian consolidated his shop into one larger shop on Main Street in Excelsior, MN, in 2007. Since then, Brian has been designing and creating some very unique engagement rings and pieces of wearable art. He works with gold and platinum and diamonds and just about any colored gemstone. Brian has received many awards and accolades over the years but closest to his heart are the many happy customers who are still wearing one of his creations.
