Manoah Boutard is no average goldsmith.

 

Manoah began his jeweler's training at the age of twelve, working in his Father's high-end production shop. After high school, Manoah continued to pursue his craft and perfect the skills he had learned while casting and setting diamonds for Zales, Kay Jewelers, and other giants of the jewelry industry.

 

Twenty-five years later, Manoah is still hard at work. While Manoah sets stones, sizes rings and performs all manner of traditional jewelry repairs, his speciality lies in crafting "new heirlooms" Often, people think that that have to keep jewelry exactly as it is or throw it out completely. Through his own mix of restoration and customization, Manoah breathes new life into heirloom and vintage jewelry. "I've noticed people are a little bit more careful about how they spend their money," says Manoah's wife, Elissha. "There is more interest in converting what they have into what they want." With that wisdom in mind, Manoah works individually with each customer to transform their worn-out jewelry or inheirited diamonds into in truly spectacular new treasures.
