Now Celebrating our 17 Year Anniversary with Our "Lane Davenport" Signature Series Watches
Seventeen years ago this month Jim and Betty made a pact with each other and the people of South Lake County to serve
the jewelry needs of their chosen community family with respect, courtesy, honesty, precise workmanship and fair pricing.
The Village Goldsmith opened its doors for business on June 14, 1994 and has been at its present location under the same
name and ownership since its opening. This is a family owned and operated business, and the talented staff are
unmatched in the Lake County area.
The Village Goldsmith is a full service jewelry store that has on premises three master goldsmiths; Jim Johnson, Lloyd Burden
and Jose Luis Carpio. The goldsmiths mentioned have over 85 years cumulative bench experience, and while jewelry sales,
repairs, custom design and remounts are their stocks-in-trade, these craftsmen offer pearl and bead restringing as well.
Many of our jewelry items in the shop are handmade in our store or assembled on-site by Lloyd, Jim and Jose.
This unique jewelry repair, custom service and retail shop has been rewarded outstanding ratings with the
South Lake Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Bureau of Central Florida and the unwavering support of the
business folks who have their family, friends, neighbors and partners.
Torri Kincaid is the customer relations expert & the owner’s daughter whose talents encompass all phases of client contact in
addition to watch band repair, adjustment and battery replacement. Clock and watch repairs are accomplished through the
addition of two independent master horologists (watchmakers).
You can always feel confident about leaving your treasures at The Village Goldsmith;
we care for your valuables like they are our own.
Feel free to stop by and browse in the showcase, you'll be glad you did!
Independent appraisals are always available by appointment.
Thank you again South Lake County for keeping your business at home and helping us
make our business your jeweler of choice.
Jim & Betty Johnson, Proprietors
Proud member, in good standing with the South Lake Chamber of Commerce

This weeks Q & A: How often should I have my Jewelry inspected?
( See Internet Specials page for the answer )
Traditional Birthstone for May is the Emerald
The "Emerald" lush, exotic, untamed and pulses with life and vitality. In its depths beats the heart of the rainforest, its shadows alive with promise,
expectation... even danger. More valuable than diamonds, fine quality Emeralds are among the world's most bewitching jewels. Ancient history
records Emerald mines near the Red Sea called, "Cleopatra's Mines." These mines are where the Pharaohs gathered gems between 3000 and 1500 B.C.
On the other side of the world, the Incas and Aztecs once worshipped the Emerald as a holystone. History also speaks of the Maharajas of India,
whose treasure vaults were filled with Emeralds, the gem they believed to bring luck & health. In Rome, it was the color that symbolized the beauty
and love of the goddess Venus. Perhaps this is why the Emerald is the gem chosen by love birds to celebrate their 20th, 35th or 55th wedding anniversary
and for those born under the sign of Virgo.
What ever the reason, the Emerald is always a fabulous fashion choice.
