Nelson Estate Jewelers

Dec 20

In their own words

“There’s something amazing about gold, silver, and platinum metals when you feel it in your hand. The density, the weight, the warmth—it just feels special. The most intriguing thing to me about jewelry is the rarity. I mean, think of all the gold ever mined on this planet. There’s nothing else like it. And I really like vintage jewelry, period stuff like Deco and Edwardian. I have a section of my store dedicated to vintage estate pieces. We don’t make stuff like we once did. Some of these pieces are pretty darn cool.”

Jason’s Interview with Dave

Jason

Today, we get to have a husband and wife duo in Mesa, Arizona, Nelson Estate Jewelers. Dave Nelson is on the line with us.

How did you get into the industry?

Dave

I've actually been in the business my entire life. I started when I was about fifteen years old at a big chain. I worked at Zales. I expanded to work for a lot of big chains and several well-known local jewelers here in Arizona. Things kind of changed, and with the desire to spend more time with my wife, we decided to spend all of our time together. Now, we run our own little store.
