In the mid 80’s I was an apprentice goldsmith working at the bench next to Jim Nelson at Clyde’s Jewelers. Jim was wonderful mentor and teacher; he set a true standard for professionalism and excellence. Our business celebrates love and special occasions in people’s lives. Generations of customers will tell a fabulous story of when they bought their Clyde’s diamond. I am proud to have worked at Clyde’s and fortunate to count Jim Nelson among my friends. Jim, I wish you and Lori much happiness as you begin your new adventure up north.
