Great Basin Gemological Services was founded in response to the growing concerns regarding the prevalence of large jewelry repair facilities, which have supplanted the once-vibrant local mom-and-pop shops that historically served as the foundation of our community's jewelry market. This transition has resulted in a notable reduction in clients' options, frequently leading them to be advised to purchase new jewelry rather than restoring their existing pieces. Moreover, this trend has caused a significant decline in the available talent within the industry. Corporations do not typically train apprentices in a manner consistent with traditional practices, resulting in a limited selection of skilled artisans for the few remaining small jewelry stores. The cultivation of expertise often requires substantial investment in time and resources before apprentices can competently fulfill the responsibilities of a jeweler.   The primary objective of Great Basin Gemological Services is to provide a professional, local jewelry service that caters to both customers and jewelry establishments. We are committed to delivering quality and personalized service that our community can trust. Though we are small right now, we hope to become a pillar for the jewelry and local community in the Las Vegas Valley and the Great Basin.
