The Gem Gallery, located in downtown Bozeman, Montana, was founded in 1995 by Don Baide. Specializing in custom designed jewelry, it is proud to feature a major collection of brilliant, totally natural Yogo Sapphires.

These Yogo sapphires, more rare than diamonds, are found only in Montana. They are prized for their striking Cornflower blue color.

We also have a collection of Montana sapphires, which are available in a variety of rainbow colors.

The Gem Gallery has a fine selection of high-quality diamonds that Don personally selects in Antwerp, Belgium.

Our skilled goldsmiths on staff strive to create custom designs that are uniquely yours, in 18 or 14 karat gold or in platinum.

Don Baide personally selects all of the gems for The Gem Gallery. He buys select rough sapphires from the mines in Montana as well as stones from around the world to bring you the best gemstones available. Our gems are cut to precise standards to insure their maximum brilliance. Our Yogo sapphires are truly the best you will ever see.
