A family jewelry business does not always take the traditional path. People grow and change, explore opportunities, leave and come back to an entirely new home. Cliff has been creating jewelry for more than 40 years. All of his children have worked for him at one time or another, but one, his son Sam always took a stronger interest in the business and craft. A summer job in high school turned into an apprenticeship, but somewhere along the way Sam had to spread his wings and leave the nest. Cliff and Sam never stopped making jewelry together, they just were not always in the same room. Sam now brings 20 years of jewelry experience himself as both an artist and a teacher.
