Steve Johnson and Kirk Davis have always had a passion for jewelry. Johnson first started cutting gemstones when he was eight years old, after a teacher told him it was possible to slice rocks like salami. Davis began repairing jewelry at age 13, trained by his father, a goldsmith and watchmaker. In 2010, with some eighty years of professional experience between them, the two men decided to team up and open a jewelry store together in Old Town Eureka.
