When you walk into Armstrong Jewelers on Main Street in Bennington, you will not see half price signs on the inventory, nor will you be met by fast talking salespeople. If you are there to choose a piece of jewelry out of the case, either Laurie or Theresa can help you find just the right item. If you wish to have a custom design created for you, you will work with Kevin who will help you through the creative process. What you end up with is a fine hand made piece of jewelry created with your input from start to finish. The list of satisfied customers has continued to grow since the store opened in 1993. The plan is to continue with the philosophy of selling quality jewelry at a fair price. As they say in Vermont, "If it Ain't broke, don't fix it."
