The history of Graham Jewelers began in 1951 when Darrell Miller Sr. founded Miller’s Jewelry of Wayzata and became the local jeweler to the Lake Minnetonka and Wayzata communities. In 1978, the business was passed on to Darrell Miller Jr. who continued to run it with the integrity of his father. In April of 2003, Darrell Miller Jr. was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and wanted to find someone who would continue to serve his clients with the values and integrity that he and his father had provided for the past 52 years. The business was sold to Chris Graham, who had been active in the jewelry industry for many years. Chris was the president of the American Gem Society’s North Central Guild at the time he purchased the business from the Millers.

In 2003, the name of the business was changed to Graham Jewelers and the business has continued to grow each year. Due to Chris’s background in buying diamonds and his professional relationship with the finest jewelry manufacturers in the industry, Graham has been able to attract the finest jewelry manufacturers in the industry and to bring their products to the Wayzata community. Their fine jewelry lines include Oscar Heyman, Caroline Ballou, Hearts on Fire, and Pomellato. Their watch lines include Ball, Dubey & Schaldenbrand, Fendi, Longines, & Swiss Army.

Integrity is important to Chris and it shows – he himself is one of just 400 Certified Gemologist Appraisers in North America. Graham Jewelers has an in-store Gemological Lab – one of just five labs in the state of Minnesota. Additionally, all diamonds in Graham’s inventory are independently certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or the American Gem Society (AGS).

Chris Graham has become an integral part of the Wayzata Business Community, serving on the Wayzata Chamber Commerce Board of Directors and is Chair of the Promotions Committee as well as a member of the Twin West Chamber of Commerce. Chris was named 2006 Twin West Chamber Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year and in May of 2007 was named one of  Business Journal’s 40 Under 40.
