If unique jewelry is what you are looking for, McCloud Ring works is where you need to go! Gary (the owner and goldsmith) and Peter (jeweler) are two of the greatest guys on earth.
They have been in business forever and a day, they create designs that you will never see anywhere else, and cater to every desire. I used to work there, so I know first hand, the quality of their work and how much they insist upon professionalism and perfection.
They specialize in custom work from start to finish, and will keep you informed every step of the way. The gifts they carry are fabulous and unique too. Things ranging from blown glass ornaments, sea glass rings and pendants, sterling silver skulls, chains and earrings, to rare 18K and 24K Italian gold, are just a few of the items you could expect to find while shopping.
Hours are a bit crazy, but tell me what artist doesn't have a mind of their own, right? Calling ahead definitely will keep you a bit more sane, but they are worth every bit of the store hours inconvenience.
Gary is one of the best in gemstone and diamond knowledge, trust me...I felt like I was in school again, the way he made me study every gem book and alloy property book! I owe everything I know to him, and still cannot compare to this top notch goldsmith. One thing I did learn, was that a lobster clasp is a real thing, I thought it had something to do with the Lobster Festival that happens every year down there...who knew?
I also never gave broken beer bottles-turned sea glass, any thought before working there...it really is beautiful. I have heard of the phrase, "someone Else's trash is another's treasure", this phrase could not be more true at McCloud's...every item is handcrafted and a genuine piece of art. read more
