As Vermont's exclusive jewelry store, the Vermont Gem Lab offers custom jewelry and engagement rings, expert jewelry repair with a laser, and professional jewelry appraisal. With over 10 years of experience in the jewelry industry, owner Kennon Young, GG, CBJT is a graduate gemologist, certified bench jeweler technician, jewelry designer and professional appraiser. Except, instead of simply taking
in jewelry, he is also your repairman, designer, appraiser and manager with a broad network of jewelers, designers, lapidaries, laboratories, designers, buyers, and auctioneers. With these skills, he can handle virtually any job- from antique restoration, to estate tax valuations to sourcing designer jewelry. Custom jewelry and engagement rings are done by personal meetings and intuitive conversations. Rather then helping you pick a piece of jewelry out of a showcase, Kennon takes a much more intimate approach. Getting to know the client and the client's lifestyle, aesthetic style, heritage and relationship details are all vital elements of a well executed engagement ring or custom piece of jewelry. The VGL specialzes in recycled precious metals and conflict-free diamonds and colored stones. All jewelry repairs performed at the VGL are in house and can be performed on the spot. The VGL uses a laser welding system which allows for pinpoint accuracy and super tough welds. Antique restoration, welding next to soft stones and delicate settings are all repairable with this incredible tool!
