Dan has around 40 years of experience in the Jewelry trade. He began learning how to cut stones around the age of 13. He began carving waxes in high school to fashion mountings for the stones that were cut. When Dan got married in 1983, he really began his career in the jewelry trade. Once moving to Grand Rapids, Dan worked as a diamond setter at Terry Berry Manufacturing, where he stayed for about 10 years. After leaving Terry Berry, Dan worked doing design and repair work for a number of jewelers in West Michigan and a handful of other states until he decided to open his own store.
Through nearly 30 years of business to the public, and 50 years of gold-smithing and jewelry making Dan is still creating, repairing and keeping the jewelry trade alive.
