Studio 247 Fine Jewelry offers a unique jewelry experience featuring exquisite, hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind pieces in a welcoming environment. Custom creations, hand-picked designer lines, and rare vintage finds provide an eclectic shopping experience in a wide variety of price ranges.
Co-Owner and on-site designer Craig Slavens is a Graduate Gemologist (GG) from the Gemological Institute of America. He has recently returned to the Appleton area and is working with local partners to bring his creative dream alive. Slavens’ vast experience includes jewelry design work in Beverly Hills as well as the former Earth Resources Jewelry in the Fox Cities where Slavens also served as manager.
“Customers coming into the store have been overwhelmed by the breadth and depth of the jewelry offerings and tell us they are happy to have such a place in the Fox Valley,” says Slavens. “It’s great to be back here in such a creatively receptive, inviting community that embraces the broad-ranging artistry we bring to the table.”
“I love doing custom designs. When other jewelers say it can’t be done, that inspires me. I take pride in turning people’s ideas and dreams into reality.”
