Jewelry to Treasure for Generations
Beloved by Vail locals and guests since 1975, jewelry from The Golden Bear is an iconic symbol of the Vail Valley. Their necklaces, earrings, and bracelets range from pave diamond to gold and silver options, and men’s items include cuff links and watches. Strolling over Vail Village’s covered bridge and browsing in the Golden Bear store has become a tradition, as families stop in to browse and pick from their collections to commemorate birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations.
