I recently visited the Colorado Artisan Center in Grand Lake, Colorado, and completely fell in love with their stunning, locally made jewelry. As a Colorado native, I’ve seen a lot of mountain-inspired pieces, but nothing compares to the quality and craftsmanship here. I purchased the Ski Goggle Mountain Ring and the Mama Bear Necklace, and both were absolutely beautiful and so uniquely Colorado.
I wore my ring every single day for months—through hikes, work, and daily life—and it never tarnished or lost its shine. The quality is truly incredible. Eventually, one of the little mountains fell out, so I reached out to see if they could fix it.

That level of care and attention to detail is so rare these days. You can genuinely tell they love their craft and care deeply about their customers.

Everything they make is creative, and reasonably priced—each piece tells a story and feels one-of-a-kind. If you’re looking for authentic Colorado artisan jewelry that’s made with heart, the Colorado Artisan Center is hands down the best...
Read moreI'm so happy that I found the Colorado Artisan Center.
