Specializing in custom engagement and wedding rings, The Nugget is the creative brainchild of designer and goldsmith Mary Ehlers, who meets with clients by appointment to create fantastic pieces based on their visions. The Old Town shop also sells existing pieces, wholesale diamonds and precious gems in their gem room, which stocks sapphires, rubies and other glistening precious stones ready to be implemented into an eye-catching piece of jewelry. Customers can have the items that they already own--or have recently purchased--appraised by the on-site gemologist, which helps determine value for insurance and estate reasons.
