About Foxfire Custom Jewelers: our history


earlyThe original Foxfire Jewelry opened in 1978, with a young Michael Babinski creating jewelry from beads and simple metalwork, and developing design and handcrafting skills all along the way. He also completed an apprenticeship at a local jeweler, took classes and experimented with different jewelry styles and techniques.

He dreamed of working on jewelry the way someone might long to be a famous actor or a Rock star. He set himself to work learning everything possible, including Gemology from the Gemmological Institute of America.





Custom JewelersWhen the time was right, Michael and Mary Babinski opened Foxfire Jewelers in 1985, with the idea to do something that not many stores were doing at the time: make high quality jewelry on premises. Since then they and their staff have made many thousands of rings, pendants, earrings, all with the same high standards. They have been honored to be a part of people's most joyful moments, creating very special engagement and wedding rings, and cherished gifts.

At Foxfire Jewelers the approach is a bit different than even other custom jewelers... that of creativity and artistry. Not just a nuts and bolts, manufacture approach, but discovering how they can make the design sing. They make jewelry that speaks to your soul.
