Spirit Lake Silver & Gold
Spirit Lake Silver & Gold stands as a testament to the transformative power of passion and perseverance. Founded by Martin Marten after a serendipitous encounter with a fraudulent ring, the business emerged from adversity with a burning desire to understand the intricacies of fine jewelry. Together with his partner, Melinda, they embarked on a journey of education and skill-building, attending jewelry school and later pursuing advanced training at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). Armed with expertise and a commitment to excellence, they cultivated relationships with top suppliers worldwide, evolving from modest beginnings selling turquoise sterling silver rings to becoming a trusted destination for exquisite diamonds, gemstones, and custom jewelry.
With over 43 years of dedication, Spirit Lake Silver & Gold remains indebted to the steadfast support of its community, friends, customers, and dedicated employees. Each interaction and relationship has contributed to the rich tapestry of their journey, reinforcing their commitment to quality and integrity. As Martin and Melinda express profound gratitude for the collective effort that has propelled their success, they eagerly anticipate the future, poised to continue their legacy of craftsmanship, innovation, and community engagement.
