Gilger designs is completely family owned and operated. With three generations of Goldsmiths and Jewelry experts. “We love everything in our industry and it shows in our work and our attitudes when we help our clients.” The art of true goldsmithing is a dying art. We made a decision, years ago, that we would learn everything we could about goldsmithing, not silversmithing, not stones, everything GOLDSMITHING. The art is shown in the handmade, forged, fabricated, assembled, and beautifully finished true one of a kind work! Our specialty, is also in Rare Gems. A diamond, is a diamond, is a diamond, but the gems we use are rare, mystical, and extremely hard to find. Very few people have ever seen 80% or more of the gems we carry, collect, and use in our originals. Leave your reservations at the door, Gilger’s will never betray your trust or take advantage of your ignorance. The level of understanding and knowledge you will gain by visiting with us will truly change the way you look at, gems, diamonds, gold, and jewelry forever!
