More about the history of VBJ from owner,
Julie Von Bargen Thom: 

Forty years ago, my dad founded Von Bargen’s jewelry with $400 in his pocket and a dream to create a fulfilling life in Vermont with his family.

He had the intellectual aptitude to learn business, the fearlessness to become an entrepreneur and the artistic skill to teach himself jewelry making. Opening his first store, he designed and created every piece of jewelry he sold. As he grew his business, it was always his vision to create “more and more beautiful
things.” And it was always his respect for people – his colleagues, his clients, his designer partners – that enabled his success.

His vision continues on in our business: To leave the world a more beautiful place.
My husband and I, as second generation leaders of Von Bargen’s, continue to push this vision forward with our exceptional team in our five store locations – Burlington, Stowe, Hanover NH, Stratton and Springfield VT.

We feel passionate about continuing my family’s legacy. We set our course according to a Mission statement that establishes as our core values respect and appreciation for our team, our clients, our communities and our world. We answer to these four and aim to earn their respect and trust.

We curate and create fine diamond and artisan jewelry. We partner with artists who couple an iconic design vision with precision craftsmanship and an ethical creation process. We continue to be committed to designing and creating fine jewelry in Vermont. Our studio creates fine diamond classics, executes custom collaboration projects for clients and provides high level jewelry restoration.

We create a charm collection that celebrates our love for Vermont. We have also provided a platform for our Burlington manager, Ali Dumont, to pursue her own dream to be a jewelry designer. She has developed a full colored gemstone collection that is exhibited throughout our five stores.
