I've been coming here for the last 3 years for everything jewelry related and for the last 3 years they've never let me down. Their products are spectacular! It's mesmerizing walking into Vail Creek and seeing all the beautiful diamonds. The staff is very welcoming and professional, especially Alta. I've had the honor of being assisted by Alta each time I've walked in and each time she's always a pleasure to talk to and extremely helpful with any questions I've had. Alta's never steered me wrong and she won't steer you wrong either! Highly recommend Vail Creek!

Veil is a great company that did such an amazing job giving us specific and individual care as we designed a custom ring. They are able to take your ideas and combine them with their expertise to advise you on the best options. They were kind and never pushy, they truly honored what I wanted and put that first. I'm so grateful for our experience with them.
