Rio Grande, Company

Rio Grande began with a vision of better serving the jewelry industry. What started as a small operation has grown into an international distribution center for thousands of valued customers. Our vision remains much as it was when Saul Bell founded the company more than 60 years ago, with customer service, support and satisfaction the basis for all business conduct. The tradition of excellence in the jewelry industry that Saul Bell started still flourishes today. Under the leadership of six directors (including four of Saul's children), Rio Grande remains an industry leader highly respected for serving customers with integrity and high standards in jewelry manufacture and distribution. The value Saul placed on sharing his knowledge with others continues, too, through The Santa Fe Symposium. This annual not-for-profit event, co-founded by Eddie Bell, provides a forum in which jewelers can gather and share information and gain the knowledge they need to manage their businesses more successfully. Clearly, the vision Saul Bell had so long ago of helping others to learn, and the legacy he left behind of high standards and excellence, continues.
