I have always had a great experience with everyone at Gilger Designs. I can bring my jewelry in for a cleaning and leave with sparkling beautiful rings and bracelets that look brand new!

Gilger Designs is a true gem! The quality, artistry and attention to detail in every item they sell is astounding. They repaired multiple pieces for us and the final products blew us away! Everything was done better than expected. The customer service is respectful, thoughtful and delightful. We used to go to the other place in town but now we only go to Gilger Designs.
