She took our ideas, considered my wedding ring's design and materials, and created a beautiful band that complements the wedding ring very well. We love the product--and the process of working with her was great. She's super easy to work with and has really great ideas--while considering some of our "must haves" (eg using conflict-free gems). Thank you so much Hana!

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.

My fiancé purchased a vintage diamond and brought it to Miller's to have it set for me. He…read morepresented a few ideas and sought the advice from the Miller's team in designing an heirloom piece for me. He proposed in March and I wore it out only on special occasions (I work with my hands) and by November, I noticed a large chip in my stone. We went in to the store in person to have the ring evaluated for structural issues and discuss potential solutions. The floor rep seemed very surprised at the setting, claiming the stone was too thin to be set in this manner. The issue was brought to the owner, who blew us off. They offered to start over and reset the stone in a more secure setting (at our expense, of course) and offered no reasoning as to why this could have happened. I called later to discuss the situation with the owner, who was incredibly condescending and offered no recourse. To quote Cec, "If you drive a car off the lot and get in an accident, do you call and complain to the sales rep?" As far as I'm concerned, if you buy a brand new car, drive it off the lot, and have a mechanical issue at 2,000 miles, you sure do. They send their jewelry off to be set by a third party and finish the design work in house. If they weren't able to come up with a design to support this diamond for basic wear, I wonder what we actually paid them for... The diamond in question was cut in the late 1800s... it made it all the way to Miller's in 2025 and then didn't make it more than 7 months of light wear. I'm sure their showroom pieces purchased from 3rd parties is fine but if you have custom work or require skilled service, I'd save your valuables and yourself the headache and head elsewhere. That's what we'll be doing.

Right when I walked into the store the employees very hostile towards me! I asked if I could try on a few things in the fitting room , so I did I had opened my purse to grab my phone because someone was calling me . I thought nothing of it , I get out of the fitting room and check out the employee is still being extremely rude towards me . For no reason I was complimenting the store, and how gorgeous it was and I was smiling the whole time and killing her with kindness. I checked out and was heading out of the store ( I have worked retail for years ) . Then the employee starts screaming at me in front of the street with many people watching as I'm getting into my vehicle. She said I was a thief ! At that point I was balling my eyes out and literally poured everything out of purse onto the ground to prove I had not stolen any item. She continued to berate me in front of everyone and her reasoning is because she heard my zipper to my purse in the dressing room. She had short curly and was caucasian and in her 40s . I had no right to be treated that way and won't be coming back! I called the owner and she said she would speak with her employees I hope she did! Other than that it was a cool store . Just don't open your zipper lmao!

The store has a beautiful size diverse selection, helpful staff and a range of items at all prices. You could assemble a really lovely outfit here if you needed to. Located in the town center of Big Sky, the store is quite cool, stylish and fun albeit a slightly misleading name. I'll come back.

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.
