We are a group of jewelers, metalsmiths, lapidaries and artists with a passion for gemstones! Our Minnesota store never quite looks like a jewelry store since we are always working on something new. If you like gemstones and jewelry and want to be part of the creative process, you'll love it here! I have been collecting rocks since Edina had gravel pits and cutting them since high school.
Looking for that unique piece of jewelry that's "just right"? Creating custom design jewelry is our specialty and our passion! We love working with our clients to create one-of-a-kind pieces that will be cherished for generations to come. From weddings to anniversaries to birthdays and far beyond, we know that custom jewelry can make a special event that much more special!

If you want quality, not quantity, and to be different from everybody else. This is where you should go. This the only place I will get my jewelry from. We have had some repaired, some WE designed, and some new made out of old. Veberod...there is really nothing else to say. They are the best. (Their prices are awesome)

This place is so creative and personable! I took two matching pins that belonged to my great-grandmother in and collaborated with the jeweler...She converted them into drop earrings with sterling silver lever backs!! They are so beautiful.....I got instant gratification and walked out with a new heirloom. Tai is the jeweler that performed her magic!

I love the uniqueness of the jewelry in this store and dedication of jewelers who work there. They not only create unique, one of a kind jewelry, but also share their skills with the community through the silversmithing classes. It is good place to meet like-minded people, develop one's jewelry making skills, and buy unique, one of a kind jewelry, or jewelry created according to your ambitious designs. Also I just read a negative review mentioning the scruffy young man at the shop. In his defense I want to add: I learned lapidary skills from jewelers at Veberod gem gallery. Believe me: it

Do NOT go to Hobby Lobby, Michael's, etc. before coming here. You can find high-quality, semi-precious bead strings for similar prices here, or perhaps just a little more. I couldn't believe I'd spent up to $6 a strand at other places when I saw some of the prices here. And the quality is obvious, not to mention the helpful, friendly customer service.
I am a beginning beader, and they helped me through everything, and everything was reasonably priced. They also have a ton of classes, and a workshop you can use once you're a student. I almost don't want to leave this review

I have shopped at Verbod for years, they carry a fantastic selection of gems, some very rare stones at very reasonable prices, and there is a GIA gemologist there so you can learn alot (not something you find at cookie cutter shops).
If their aesthetic is not yours,consider getting your gems there and having them set by someone else.
The selection of gem beads and findings is high quality, so your own bead work will be good.
The classes are good, taught by knowledgeable teachers

Never thought I would get the ring of my dreams after looking at every chain jewelry store on earth. Chain jewelers idea of a "custom ring" is picking your stone (in my case green sapphire) and putting on a pre fab ring. This didn't feel custom to us. We stumbled upon Veberod and met Andy. Andy took the time to design our actual custom rings by drawing sketches. This was beyond our expectations and the selection/prices of gems gave us so much to work with. We couldn't have asked for a "less pushy" and incredible jeweler. We never felt pressured to spend more money

I have a long history with Veberod Gem Gallery. I've thought about reviewing them for a long time, but after reading the one star review I felt I had to share my thoughts.
I had them make a custom wedding ring for me in 2013. I shopped around, and they were the fairest price and they could make the exact ring I wanted. They did everything I asked and my wife loved/loves it. But several months after giving it to my wife, the gems started falling out. This upset me quite a bit. Stones were falling out at family get-togethers and I felt like a fool. I contacted Brad and after some back and forth

This place will teach you how. Take classes and show your work. If you think it is expensive take classes at a jewelry school. If the price of right here and right now is to high, go online.
My wife and I took a class and we liked it. This was a better setting and setup than other classes we have taken elsewhere.
Learning is not free so be prepared to spend some time and a little money.

As I walked in I noticed that three employees were toiling around in the back by the work benches and that one (who I believed to be the owner) was talking to a customer.
The worst thing about walking around for 10 minutes was that in that 10 minutes I was not greeted nor looked at ONCE. So, as I viewed their so called "precious" gemstones and custom made jewelry I noticed that most of their "finished" products were poorly done and that most center piece stones were scratched/chipped. Some well hidden.
I was finally helped by a teenager who was in dire need of grooming
