Meet the September Local Business of the Month: Gabriana Jewelers

At Gabriana Jewelers, you're working directly with the owners. Jack is the designer and master jeweler behind every custom creation, while Sophie helps guide clients through every step of the design process. Together, They’re passionate about creating jewelry you'll treasure for a lifetime.

Jack’s journey in the jewelry industry began at just 14 years old, learning the art of hand-carved wax models, jewelry repair, and fine craftsmanship. After opening his first repair shop in Michigan in 1998, he spent nearly a decade managing a respected jewelry store in Washington, D.C., gaining valuable experience in both craftsmanship and customer service. Returning to Michigan in 2010, Jack launched his own jewelry manufacturing company, combining traditional techniques with modern technology to create custom pieces for local jewelers.

After more than 35 years at the jewelry bench, Jack and his wife, Sophie, opened their first retail store and proudly named it Gabriana Jewelers after their daughter. In 2026, their family story continues with the opening of a second location in Grand Blanc. More than a jewelry store, Gabriana Jewelers brings together craftsmanship, creativity, family, and personal service to help customers celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.

Whether it’s a special occasion or just because, Gabriana Jewelers is a place where craftsmanship, creativity, and personal connections come together to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments.
