We had the good fortune of connecting with Gili Mor and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Gili, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
We wanted to provide affordable and accessible engagement rings to the public.
When we got the feedback from our first few clients we just ran with it, getting high end, great quality engagement rings for affordable prices was more than doable, it was the only way we’ve done business.

What should our readers know about your business?
The biggest challenge we encountered was to get clients in our office.
We operate slightly different than the usual retail jewelry store, we are located Inside of an office building so there is always the hardship of letting people know we are up here without having signage or any indicator outside.
We built our online presence and made sure our clients knew we are a trusted jewelry establishment and from there we got new and exiting clients flowing in and calling on a daily basis.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
We have a lot of great spots around us here in Montrose, try the museum district for a cultural experience.
Lua viet is a great Vietnamese fusion restaurant that offer fresh and delicious dishes.
Doris metropolitan, our favorite steakhouse is 5 minutes from our office,
