GoldSmith
Jewelers is a family owned, one-location, retail jewelry store located
on the Mississippi River in Little Falls, Minnesota. Formed in 1973, by
Terry “Tar” Smith, the business was first known in the industry as a “trade
shop.” A trade shop does jewelry repair and diamond setting for other jewelers.
As an expert diamond setter, Tar works for fine jewelry stores throughout
the five state areas. Although the business was expanded into retail
sales in the 80s, the trade shop has remained a major part of his business.
In November 2002, Terry and wife,
Sandy, expanded their retail store by more than doubling their space.
Known for their fine jewelry, the store now includes one-of-a-kind jewelry,
custom design work, and inventory of the highest quality.
Jeff Stumpf was brought into the business as an apprentice in 1996, and specializes in 14K and platinum repair, as well as special design. Jeff has since completed Course III at the Gemological Institute of America and is on his way to becoming a certified gemologist. Coupled with friendly service, an elegant and relaxing atmosphere, shopping is an enjoyable experience at GoldSmith Jewelers.
