Great shop, tons of variety, and let you do custom work. Actual goldsmiths, not just salesmen. Did a ton of repairs and work for me and I've never once had to come back and have anything redone.

I cannot say enough about my experience with Gary and his staff at Gibson Jewelers! Gary took the time to sit and listen to my ideas on a custom one of a kind band for my wedding ring. And the results were far beyond my expectations! What a fantastic experience!
