About Dan Gould Jewelers

Dan has been involved in the jewelry business since he was just a child. Dan is the son of five generations of jewelers- the oldest family of jewelers in the state of Minnesota. His great-great-great grandfather started the jewelry store in Glencoe Minnesota in 1878. This is where Dan learned about the importance of exceptional customer service, the art of jewelry design, and the skills of the trade from his grandfather William N. Gould, and his father William B. Gould.

Dan later went to the Minneapolis Technical College to become a goldsmith and received a degree in jewelry design. He then went to the Gemological Institute of America in California to become a Certified Graduate Gemologist. It was in California that Dan became certified to grade diamonds, gems and to appraise jewelry.

Since then, Dan has worked as a jeweler in Anoka, Minnesota for 14 years. Dan always wanted to run his own jewelry business, as his fore fathers had encouraged, and recently made that dream a reality. Dan feels that the “small town” atmosphere and close-knit community of Anoka has always felt like home and was a perfect place to start a business with the same values and traditions of his ancestors and father.

He enjoys serving the community as well as being an active member in several Anoka area organizations. He is currently a member of the Anoka Rotary, and was recently appointed to the City’s Economic Development Commission of Anoka. Dan looks forward to many more years of serving the community and being a part of his customers’ lives through the jewelry business.
