Rio Grande

Rio Grande, a Berkshire Hathaway company, has been supporting jewelers since 1944 with innovative products, exceptional customer service and technical know-how and expertise. The company was founded on historic Route 66 by Saul Bell, a bench jeweler himself, and is still based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico and run by members of the Bell family. Today Rio Grande is one of jewelry industry's largest suppliers. We manufacture, source and distribute tools, equipment, gemstones, findings, casting alloys, and fabrication metals as well as display and packaging products. Every product we sell is backed by our commitment to customer service and to supporting jewelers in their craft through unparalleled technical support, educational content and industry events. Each year Rio Grande hosts events that help jewelers excel at their craft. The Santa Fe Symposium is the industry's premier conference for jewelry manufacturing technology and was started by Eddie Bell, Rio Grande's VP of manufacturing, to promote innovation and the sharing of knowledge in the industry. With the Saul Bell Design Award competition, Rio Grande supports jewelry designers as they embrace their boldest designs and push themselves to new levels of recognition within the industry. Whether you are an experienced bench jeweler, a large manufacturer or just starting out in the industry, we share your passion for making jewelry.
