We worked Scott over a period of seven months to create a wonderful monument for our parents ceremony in August. Scott worked with us over the telephone and by email since we live out of state his professionalism, attention to detail, and dependability were stellar. Our family members and friends have been complementary of his craftsmanship and attention to detail. We highly recommend Scott.

Scott Walden was so amazing. He took the time to just talk to me about my dad. He didn't rush me…read moreand he made me feel understood and safe when I cried. He listen as I told stories about my dad, asking questions about him and laughing with me. Through that long conversation he developed the perfect tribute for my father. A bench with a beautiful elk at the base of a pillar that acts as a bench leg and a side table. On the table is a solid bronze coffee mug inscribed with the words "World's Greatest DAD" and jumping trout. My dad's three favorite things were hunting, fishing, and when people would stop by for coffee and conversation. Now when we go to see dad, we can bring a cup of coffee, sit, and talk about the one that got away, or the bull elk we could've gotten if only we had our rifle with us. I feel blessed to be in such good hands. Thank you Scott, for everything.

I took a piece in to be tested for authenticity. This jewelry item came with a certificate of…read moreauthenticity. I was verifying. The jeweler doing the testing used a device on each diamond and stated that at least one gemstone was not natural. Upon having the item re-tested elsewhere, I was told that the diamonds were authentic and real. Two jewelers indicated the piece authentic. Alara did not. The other jewelers provided this explanation: if a jeweler is using a lower end tester for diamonds, the way those work, is that they test for light refraction and can confuse natural diamonds that may have some fluoresce with lab created diamonds.

I've been going to the Gem Gallery since I moved home to Montana almost 14 years ago and despite…read morenot having lots of money to spend, they've always been incredibly courteous. But today they really knocked it out of the ballpark when my boyfriend of two years very unexpectedly asked me to marry him, and we went to the Gem Gallery and found the perfect ring. I am so grateful to Ellie, Sonya, & Jason for making today happen; I was able to walk out with the most gorgeous Montana sapphire that matches my eyes! Plus since my partner and I are both native Montanans, it means so much to us. Plus, Brandon has just always been great at helping me with a myriad other things I will not go for jewelry anywhere else in town! For some reason, Yelp is not letting me check value, but I do feel that the jewelry in the store is fairly priced and the workmanship is unprecedented!

I love the Gem Gallery. About 7 years ago, my darling husband proposed to me with a gorgeous…read moreart-nouveau-style ring (my favorite style) with diamond chips and a tanzanite (my favorite color), which knocked my socks off. I was warned that tanzanite is a soft stone, and scratches easily. I'm kind of hard on my physical belongings...not the most graceful character, really. The tanzanite became progressively more scratched and muddy, dull and opaque. And then -- tragedy! I lost one of the tiny diamonds (I guess I shouldn't have worn the ring scuba-diving). My plan: get the ring repaired (new diamond), resized (I'd lost 70 lbs and it was loose), and replace the tanzanite with a sapphire. The Gem Gallery was recommended to me not only because they are purveyors of fine Yogo Montana sapphires (which are aren't strip-mined in Asia using slave labor, and don't fund anybody's murderous wars), but because they do quality work. Sure enough, they repaired the ring perfectly (you can't tell the tiny diamonds apart, and you can't tell that the ring's been resized), and they found THE ideal Yogo sapphire -- a deep purple-blue that is my absolute favorite color (and a rare color in sapphires). (It changes color, depending on the light!) They corresponded with me cheerfully and kept me informed of progress, and they even took some old gold rings of mine that I don't wear in exchange (for the price of the gold), making the total cost of the repair quite affordable. I had a great experience, and would happily recommend the Gem Gallery to anyone looking for custom work. Their website is dynamite, too -- you can see their whole inventory, and purchase things securely online. Did I mention that my total transactions with the Gem Gallery took place online, and across an international border (I'm in Canada)? Very impressive.
