GOLDSMITHS DIAMONDS AND DESIGN - Key Persons
Dave Wyland, master jeweler, and owner of the Goldsmiths has spent many years learning his craft. While working at stores in Grants Pass (his home town) and Medford, his skills reached a high level.
Working on both jewelry repair, and the difficult art of eye glass frame repair, his hands are quick, and sure to provide work that often brings the compliment…"I can't even see where it was broken."
A great deal of effort, and study, on Dave's part has turned the Goldsmiths from the once small repair shop into, not only a Fine jewelry store, but also a full design, and manufacturing center, With complete facilities to create and produce even the most difficult of designs.
Steve Johnson joined forces with Dave in early 2006. Having spent over 30 years in various aspects of the jewelry business, He brings with him considerable experience.
Early in the 1970's Steve earned the designation of Master Jeweler after a 3 year apprenticeship under a European trained Master. From there he worked as a designer and overseas buyer for a chain of stores from Portland to Albany. Having traveled from the states numerous times to Thailand and working with manufactures, stone cutters, and dealers in that area he learned all the ins and outs of overseas import. In the process, creating relationships with resources that are still intact today.
