They have really stellar wedding rings here made of Alexandrite stone. All of the rings and jewelry are exceptionally beautiful. They even have awesome Citizen watches. They are light powered! They call it the eco-drive. I even think they are family owned and operated. What a great place!

The only place I will buy jewelry and let handle my jewelry. Super trustworthy, great quality and beautiful jewelry, and all around awesome people. My family has been using Jim since the beginning of his career (even before he opened Vandemark). I got my wedding ring from him in 1993 and even though I now live out of town, I still only buy from them. We wanted to upgrade my ring and he had one picked out that was exactly what I would have chosen.he knows his customers! Also, you can tell they love what they do and really care about their customers.
