I absolutely loved their collection of locally made items, including candles, teas, kitchen necessities, unique decor pieces, jewelry, and clothing. This is the perfect spot if you're on the hunt for a gift or even a souvenir for yourself. I specifically loved that they had items from the brand 'Ski Like a Girl.' I've collected a few of their hoodies in the past and it was nice to see their items in a storefront. A must-visit location if you're browsing Bozeman.

I've been going to the Gem Gallery since I moved home to Montana almost 14 years ago and despite…read morenot having lots of money to spend, they've always been incredibly courteous. But today they really knocked it out of the ballpark when my boyfriend of two years very unexpectedly asked me to marry him, and we went to the Gem Gallery and found the perfect ring. I am so grateful to Ellie, Sonya, & Jason for making today happen; I was able to walk out with the most gorgeous Montana sapphire that matches my eyes! Plus since my partner and I are both native Montanans, it means so much to us. Plus, Brandon has just always been great at helping me with a myriad other things I will not go for jewelry anywhere else in town! For some reason, Yelp is not letting me check value, but I do feel that the jewelry in the store is fairly priced and the workmanship is unprecedented!

I love the Gem Gallery. About 7 years ago, my darling husband proposed to me with a gorgeous…read moreart-nouveau-style ring (my favorite style) with diamond chips and a tanzanite (my favorite color), which knocked my socks off. I was warned that tanzanite is a soft stone, and scratches easily. I'm kind of hard on my physical belongings...not the most graceful character, really. The tanzanite became progressively more scratched and muddy, dull and opaque. And then -- tragedy! I lost one of the tiny diamonds (I guess I shouldn't have worn the ring scuba-diving). My plan: get the ring repaired (new diamond), resized (I'd lost 70 lbs and it was loose), and replace the tanzanite with a sapphire. The Gem Gallery was recommended to me not only because they are purveyors of fine Yogo Montana sapphires (which are aren't strip-mined in Asia using slave labor, and don't fund anybody's murderous wars), but because they do quality work. Sure enough, they repaired the ring perfectly (you can't tell the tiny diamonds apart, and you can't tell that the ring's been resized), and they found THE ideal Yogo sapphire -- a deep purple-blue that is my absolute favorite color (and a rare color in sapphires). (It changes color, depending on the light!) They corresponded with me cheerfully and kept me informed of progress, and they even took some old gold rings of mine that I don't wear in exchange (for the price of the gold), making the total cost of the repair quite affordable. I had a great experience, and would happily recommend the Gem Gallery to anyone looking for custom work. Their website is dynamite, too -- you can see their whole inventory, and purchase things securely online. Did I mention that my total transactions with the Gem Gallery took place online, and across an international border (I'm in Canada)? Very impressive.

I've been looking for a certain piece of jewelry for a friend for an upcoming birthday and just haven't seen anything that fits what I need. So, I decided to see if I can make my visualization come to life. That requires beads and string/wire and closings, and separators and all those other things you don't realize go into the pieces you take for granted. Well, I stopped here and did find what I needed, plus a lot more I didn't need for what I had in mind but picked up anyway. That's the problem with places like this. Garden of Beadin' has glass beads, Austrian crystal beads, wooden and plastic beads in shapes and sizes for everything. I mean everything. Best to come here when you have a definite idea and ignore the "oh, that would be good for xyz" in a ring, or necklace, or tie clip. It'll be a kid in a candy store experience. Have a budget in mind or you'll be wishing you hadn't stopped by.

Journaling has literally and honestly changed my life. Have you ever encountered someone who was an absolute master at their craft, and their love and passion for their business (hobby, work, field) is 100% contagious? That is how I feel about the employees here at Paper and Grace. Their love of fine pens, stationary, art, and related accoutrements, is absolutely infectious. I challenge you to find a store that practices such an exceptional customer experience and service. Anywhere. There is no restaurant, store, service, or business with the same commitment to and practice of customer service. The two injustice collectors from SoCal who left negative reviews may not have been used to exquisite customer service or how to use a pen. I can't believe you sully these fine people for attention and to build drama where there is none. The professional staff at Paper and Grace will clean and service any fountain pens you purchase for free. They will diagnose any hard writing, adjust, and clean your pens with a smile and on the spot. Your purchase is neatly wrapped with customized and beautiful wrapping tissue, placed in a beautiful bag, and presented to you. It's hard to explain the process, so if you are inclined to experience it, find any of their luxury, yet appropriately-priced, premium goods and ephemera, and enjoy the experience yourselves.

I'm glad they only take the best because that's what you'll get. There's a ton of great finds and great selection. There's a down stairs too. They had a great book section. They also had a yarn section and a craft section that I thought was really cool. I found a pair of almost brand new vans for $8. Cost was amazing. Service was great. Definitely worth stopping by.

The gallery has a cool vibe & a very friendly staff that was available at all times for questions & general assistance. Then I decided to treat myself to what turned out to be a very yummy lunch of grilled chicken salad on a bed of mixed greens and avocado (for a small add on fee) and let me tell you it was absolutely delish and the warm cornbread that came with it was equally yummy (butter & jam already at table). I guess their specialities are all the baked goods - pies, cookies, bars and such. But you can also pickup a frozen lasagna or chicken enchiladas, and pot pies. Or, as I did, have a freshly made to order sandwich or salad. I would definitely recommend a stop in here at any time of day. I was there mid afternoon on a Wednesday and there was no problem getting immediate service & a table. Very friendly folks work here. Check it out!

As you walk in, the employees will tell you about their sustainable, handmade local art, including home goods items and jewelry, herbal remedies -- all in small batches -- nothing mass produced. During my visit, one of the owners was in the back creating a design of her own, but unfortunately for me. I didn't go to the back to see what it was. Cactus Blossom is part retail shop and, I think, part work shop for locals who need a place to create and enjoy the camaraderie of others who share their artistic life. This is such a great store for finding something unique.

I forget what I bought there but I did buy something.... Oh yes they had even the little license plates with names on it and I got one for my grown daughter to put on her bike... That said Montana since she is a new resident. I couldn't tell if the gal behind the counter was simply a clerk, the manager, or the owner. She didn't hover, she didn't care how long I looked or what I looked at, but she was very helpful and made it clear that she was there to assist. I heard her take phone calls helping people figure out if she had what they might be looking for. And I would say there is a toy for every budget so definitely a place to go if you're looking for something unique as a souvenir to take back home as a gift.
