The Edna G. has been sitting in Agate Bay since 1896, and she is not going anywhere. As the last remaining steam-powered tugboat in the United States, she is a monument to the working history of Lake Superior and the iron ore trade that built Two Harbors into what it became. People do not come to see the Edna G. because she is decorative. They come because she is real, built with purpose, maintained with pride, and still standing after more than a century of North Shore winters.
That same standard is what our jewelry house has operated on since 1951. Ethically sourced materials, on-site craftsmen, and a no-pressure philosophy built around education and integrity. Agate Bay and the waterfront district that surrounds the Edna G. are home to a Two Harbors community that respects things made to endure. So do we. Every ring, every restored heirloom, and every custom design we deliver is built with that same commitment to permanence.
The Edna G. Tugboat is moored permanently in Agate Bay at the Two Harbors waterfront, where she served the Duluth, Missabe and Iron Range Railway for decades, guiding iron ore ships in and out of the harbor through ice, fog, and everything Lake Superior could throw at her. Built in 1896 by the Cleveland Ship Building Company, she is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and stands as one of Two Harbors’ most treasured landmarks.
The waterfront district surrounding the Edna G. reflects the working heritage and community pride that define Two Harbors as a whole. It is not a manufactured tourist district. It is a real harbor town with real history, inhabited by people who take that history seriously. Our jewelry house has served communities like this one since 1951, understanding that in towns built on integrity and hard work, the businesses that earn lasting trust are the ones that operate the same way.
Agate Bay has one of the most authentic waterfronts on Lake Superior, and the community around it carries that same unpretentious character. Couples in this area are not looking for flash. They are looking for substance. Our bridal collection delivers exactly that, with classically crafted solitaires, modern custom-designed wedding sets, and ethically sourced diamonds presented with full transparency on grading, quality, and value. Every piece comes with a lifetime craftsmanship guarantee. Every consultation comes without pressure.
The Edna G. was built to do something specific and built to do it exceptionally well. That is exactly how we approach custom jewelry design. Whether you are starting with a family stone, a reference image, or simply a feeling you want to capture in metal and gem, our lead stylists work directly with you to produce a piece that is entirely original and entirely yours.
Two Harbors families with deep waterfront roots often have jewelry with equally deep histories. Rings worn for decades, watches passed through generations, pieces that have survived more than a few North Shore winters. Our on-site craftsmen bring full repair expertise to every piece, including delicate vintage restoration that preserves original construction while making the jewelry structurally sound and visually stunning again.
A community that honors the Edna G. understands the value of a precision timepiece. Our watch and clock servicing team handles mechanical movements of all kinds, from modern luxury watches to antique clocks that have been keeping time in Two Harbors homes for generations. Accuracy, reliability, and presentation, all restored to standard.
For clients near the Two Harbors waterfront who want a curated, one-on-one experience without the showroom atmosphere, our private concierge service is the answer. We pull pieces based on your preferences, your story, and your budget, and we dedicate the session entirely to you. Same-day appointments available.
