What's in stock? Fine jewelry as well as sterling silver jewelry and a repair shop.

What sets the store apart from others? We work very hard getting in quality jewelry made in America. We look for unique pieces that you don't find in other jewelry stores. Jewelry that is passed down from generation to generation. One area that we do a lot of is custom made jewelry − working with our customers to make a one of a kind piece that shares their story. We believe jewelry is just jewelry until someone puts it on, then it has meaning.

What’s special or different for the holiday season? We had a Christmas open house, which is always a great time seeing our customers year after year. The first two Saturdays in December is always the Roscoe Villages Candlelight Service which draws families in from all across the state. We also had a special event featuring Kendra Scott pieces on Dec. 9.

Is the Christmas season its biggest time of year: Yes

House of G.A. Fisher is located at 322 N. Whitewoman St.

What have been some of the best selling items so far this holiday season? Diamonds are always our top-selling item whether it be in a necklace, bracelet or earrings. Our most popular diamond design is our floating diamonds that constantly move and sparkle while worn. They come in all price ranges making them a great gift for anyone. For something fun and on trend under $100 has been our Kendra Scott line.

Why is shopping local important? It is so important to shop local because it is your local stores that support the local schools, local churches, local United Way, local Salvation Army and so much more, including the surrounding counties also. Daily we are asked to give towards many of these organizations or a local family in need. It is our customers supporting us that gives us the opportunity to give financially to these local organizations. All of us live and work in Coshocton and want to see our county thrive, along with the surrounding counties.
