Diamonds are a guy’s best friend for Sun Valley’s Barry Peterson of Barry Peterson’s Jewelers. A native of Idaho which is coincidentally known as the Gem State, Barry is carrying on his father’s passion for rockhounding and gemstones.
Barry’s life is a testimony of his father’s prospecting spirit. He has traveled the globe in search of rare diamonds, dazzling gems, and minerals which he has created into visual masterpieces of wearable art in the Valley since 1971. Barry Peterson Jewelers’ newly redesigned 3,600-square-foot showroom on Sun Valley Road welcomes visitors into its incredible glittering gallery which is a feast for the eyes.
Eye on Sun Valley’s Lori McNee takes us to the craftsman’s workbench where visitors can watch the master jeweler at work.
