Meet the Team
Calvin Smith is an accomplished jeweler with thirty years of bench-work and design experience.

Calvin runs day-to-day operations with his wife, Jackie. Together Calvin and Jackie have three sons.
Jackie Smith (pictured with Apollo) not only manages the business with Calvin, she is the creative force and head designer behind Calvin's custom work. Jackie is our in-store interior designer and event planner as well. She also handles donations to our favorite local charities. Apollo is Calvin and Jackie's standard poodle and our store mascot. He's always happy to meet new customers and his playful attitude keeps us all in good spirits.
Kathy Smith is Director of Sales. She helped her brother Calvin start the business in 1997. After years of working side by side, Kathy has seen the store grow from a small operation to a multi-faceted business. Kathy spent a brief stint working with Katharine James, one of the designer lines that Calvin's carries, but has recently re-joined the staff and Calvin's couldn't be happier. Kathy's specialty is personal shopping, and she's always available to help you pick the perfect gift!
