Owners Bio and Pioneer Jewelers History
Jack and I came to Fairbanks, Alaska as young children very many years ago and have remained in Alaska to this day.
We moved to Juneau in 1971, beginning our retail careers in 1975 in a small shop on the Juneau waterfront. In those days, the cruise ship traffic was just beginning. The ships were small and the arrivals infrequent. No one imagined what the industry would become.
During the early years, Jack made jewelry utilizing the natural gold nuggets from the various regions of Alaska and the surrounding Yukon. Jack's continuing friendships with miners in these areas allow a continuous supply of fine quality natural gold nuggets for use in jewelry and for sale in their natural form.
The current Pioneer Jewelers is the result of over thirty years of our lives working in the Alaskan tourist and jewelry industry. And, in thirty years we have only moved about six blocks along the same waterfront.
We work hard to present the most varied selection of fine quality jewelry and gifts, at true and fair prices, presented by the most knowledgeable and friendly sales staff we can find... One of whom is one year short of her 20 year anniversary... No; she does not want a gold watch.
Pioneer Jewelers is open daily from late April through the end of September. We are open reduced hours in the winter, but one of those friendly staff members are always available by telephone or online for orders, questions or the local weather forecast.
