At Kolmel Jewelers, every piece of jewellery in our store is created from sterling silver, platinum, palladium or gold. Our designs are different, interesting and wearable. We incorporate beautiful gemstones from all around the world. Some pieces are totally unique, custom-built minilithic scultures. Others are imported, already finished to perfection.We enjoy what we do and take great pleasure in sharing our celebration of precious metals meeting precious people.
Christopher Kölmel has been making jewellery since 1981 when he started working in the trade, supported by the British Columbia Apprenticeship Program. For seven years, Chris studied with Alfonso Agarrabeitia, the great Spanish master goldsmith. For another three years, he worked at Grimsons and Sons Jewelers, a venerable manufacturing workshop. In 1991, Chris moved to Nelson from Vancouver, as a journeyman gold and silversmith. Together with his partner, Carolyne Kölmel, they have raised a wonderful jewelery store.
