Katelynne Eslick
Owner, Designer, GIA Diamonds Graduate, GIA Colored Stones Graduate
Katelynne grew up in small-town Montana, and as the daughter and granddaughter of jewelers spent much of her childhood immersed in the world of diamonds and jewelry. She sold her first diamond at her parent's jewelry store at age three, and that passion never stopped.
As a third generation jeweler, she believes that jewelry tells a story, and is meant to be passed down through generations. She keeps this idea at the forefront of each of her Legacy designs, whether the design is utilizing heirloom diamonds and stones, or is a brand-new piece starting its own story. Katelynne's award winning designs are loved for their uniqueness, attention to detail, and matching the wearers style. Katelynne is currently pursuing her Graduate Gemologist degree through GIA.
In her free time she enjoys her children, reading suspense novels, a good glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, and has finally learned how to keep houseplants alive!
