A master hand engraver trained in Birmingham, England, Tony chose pewter as the company's primary product line and christened his store The Pewter Place Engravery.

I always find the most unique, quality gifts at Gilson's. The option to personalize presents for others (and myself!) with names or monograms makes them all the more special and appreciated. The ladies who work there are very personable and helpful. My visits are always most enjoyable.

I love it when businesses actually pick up the phone! From the first time I called, the person on the phone was always pleasant and helpful. They bent over backwards to make our retirement gift for us within budget and for that, I am grateful to support a small business.

Top notch!
There was an error in our online order, which was not their fault, yet they still stood behind their work and made it right! This is true customer service the way it used to be.
We have been here many times over the years and we will always come back for those special gifts!

Ordered a shot glass with logo engraving for a boss gift. Beautiful execution, and great customer service (thank you, Susan!) along the way. Would purchase from them again.

The team (especially Maggie) was very helpful in assisting my selection of an engraved gift. Even highlighted the sales options to fit my budget. It was such a personal touch. Found a really great solution for senior sports team gift and I knew it would turn out great rather than taking a risk with an on-line engraving order.

My grandmother, Grace Swann, died recently and to remember her I bought tiny origami swan necklaces for my sister, my cousin and myself. I wanted to get her first name engraved on the back and several stores told me they were too small/oddly shaped, but one jewelry store directed me too Gilson's. Not only were they willing to do it, they did an awesome job, too! 10/10 would recommend ☺️

Gilson's was a joy to work with. I contacted them on Monday to have 5 custom engraved awards designed and done before the end of the week. I waited until the last minute and as a first time customer they could have very easily said this expedited turn around time was not possible. Their follow up was fantastic and the process was as simple as 5 or 6 emails. It is a busy time of the year for them and they turned the awards around in 4 days so we had them for our party on Saturday. Susan and the staff could not have been more accommodating. We will definitely use them again next year!
