Maurice was a seasoned jeweler, watchmaker and gunsmith. For over 28 years Maurice and his wife Verna owned Mitchell Jewelry in Forest, MS. Their daughter Sandra Mitchell started her career in the jewelry industry under her father's wing. Sandra went to Holland School for Jewelers in the 1970's where she was the only woman in her class. At this time very few women entered into this profession. She then went to work for a high end jewelry store in Jackson, MS that hired her on as a bench jeweler. There she was taught under their tutelage and was sent to Trenton Jewelry School and became a certified Jeweler and a certified GIA diamond gemologist. In 2009 Sandra opened her own store where she flourished in downtown Jackson, MS. Sandra retired in 2013 after over 40+ years in the jewelry industry due to health reasons.

We are equipped with cutting edge machinery, like our laser welder which allows us to accomplish repairs that were once considered impossible.
