"Experience Montana's Finest"
Walking through the European style door of Stephen Isley Jewelry is certainly a delight for visitors. Located in the picturesque town of Whitefish, Montana, the gallery has become a destination in itself. As artists, Stephen Isley and his wife, Cindy Just are deeply inspired by the majesty of Glacier National Park and the surrounding Flathead Valley.
Stephen Isley established his business in 1973. His meager beginnings in a workshop located in his home, transformed and grew into a well-respected custom jewelry design business known for the finest quality and craftsmanship. Stephen is a master goldsmith and an award winning designer.
Stephen first met his wife, Cindy in 1988. At the time she was an apprentice silversmith and designer. Through the next ten years their relationship grew into a partnership of love and respect that was strong enough to bring his dream of owning a gallery to life.
The dynamic couple has a unique approach to jewelry design. They compliment each other's ideas. Conceptually, the male and female point of view brings balance to each design. They are very detail oriented and it shows in the final design concept. Each piece is well constructed to prove the test of time. Stephen and Cindy's expertise as metal smiths and knowledge of gemology will assure that each piece of jewelry will be enjoyed by the customer and admired by family and friends.
Specializing in sapphires mined exclusively in the State of Montana, Stephen and Cindy utilize only the finest gemstones and precious metals. The Montana Sapphires are found in a rainbow of colors including beautiful blue, pink, golden, and green. The Montana Yogo Sapphire is a rare, all natural sapphire ranging from cornflower blue to purple.
Being members of a strong art community allows Stephen and Cindy to represent many regional artists and different art mediums in the gallery. Hand blown glass, raku pottery, original paintings, and lodge furnishings are examples of the Montana experience. They have created an inviting atmosphere with texture, color, and sound that gives their patrons a feeling of being in the West.
The creative lifestyle they live is gratifying in so many ways. Many of their customers have become life-long friends. Stephen Isley and Cindy Just have earned the respect of peers and patrons. Integrity, artistry, knowledge, experience, and customer service has earned Stephen Isley Jewelry the reputation of being "Montana's Finest."
