Between the mountains of Glacier National Park and Whitefish Mountain Resort is where you'll find us designing away.
As a husband and wife team, being a part of the Whitefish Community and owning a Small Business has become who we are - And we absolutely love it. We are constantly inspired by all Montana has to offer and it often comes out through our designs.
You'll never know what to expect when you come into the gallery - A new local artist on display, Stephen working hard on a new design, or Coco and Stella, the shop golden-doodles, ready to greet you!
Meet the Owners
Stephen Isley, Owner & Designer
As a young boy growing up in Southern California, Stephen would regularly walk by a jewelry design studio and observe the jewelers creating their masterpieces. Inspired by their work, Stephen knew one day he would also design and have his own studio. In the early 1970's, Stephen took a road-trip to Montana and immediately fell in love with the beautiful glaciers and small town lifestyle of Whitefish, MT. Over the last 40 years, Stephen's passion for Montana (Yogo) Sapphires has inspired him to create beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry. Because of his love for Montana (Yogo) Sapphires, he has been able to cultivate relationships with different mine and gem brokers throughout the state.
Cindy Just, Owner & Designer
Cindy has always had a love for all things art and in her early teens started to pursue her art career. Oil paint was her first medium, and then came watercolor. Being a self-taught artist allowed her to explore many aspects of the art culture, including merchandising and metalsmithing. After many inspirational visits to Yellowstone Park and the Grand Tetons, she made the move from Southeastern Idaho to Whitefish, Montana hoping to get a creative spark from Glacier National Park. Once she moved to Whitefish, she had the opportunity to design jewelry & to be an apprentice metalsmith.
