WhyMontana? For Brian and Denver Toone, owners of JDC, the dream of establishing a Jewelry Design Center in their beloved state was rooted into the core of their being. Growing up here meant more than just school and football games; it meant forging lifelong connections, like Brian finding his highschool sweetheart (Beth Toone), amid these vast landscapes. The support and love they received from this community were the building blocks of their dreams, nurturing them into the individuals they are today. Giving back to this supporting community became imperative, a heartfelt tribute to the place that shaped their identities. Montana isn’t just a location for us; it’s an intrinsic part of who we are. It’s the echoes of laughter in the schoolyard, the thrill of chasing dreams under the Big Sky, and the quiet moments that make a life complete. Montana is not just a state; it’s our cherished home. desire to create with unparalleled precision and artistry. This venture is more than a business expansion; it’s a deeply personal endeavor, a promise to our roots, a testament to the love and passion that Montana instilled in us. In this endeavor, we carry not just the weight of ambition, but the warmth of nostalgia and the hope of giving back, making our mark in the very soil that made us who we are. Montana, to us, is not just a location; it’s a story, a sentiment, and a lifelong journey.

With renovations complete, we’re excited to open our doors to Montana!
