After a long-anticipated transition, Leighton’s Custom Jewelry and Repair officially opened its doors to the public. 

Following the retirement of former owner Chris Miller at the end of 2024, he passed the business on to his daughter, Suzie Gran, and longtime jeweler Virgil Anderson.

Gran and Anderson are taking the business into a new direction, focusing on personalized jewelry and repair work. Although they will continue to offer jewelry for purchase, their main priority will be on custom designs, giving customers the chance to create unique pieces tailored to their individual needs.
