The business was small, run by Jules and his wife but quickly developed a reputation for quality of service and professionalism. They grew into a local landmark in Lewiston's downtown where the business remains today. In 1977 Daniel Dostie began working for his father doing jewelry repair. He developed his knowledge as a jewelry professional; With education through The Gemological Institute Of America he earned his title of Certified Gemologist Appraiser through The American Gem Society in 1987. In 2003 Daniel's son, Michael Dostie began apprenticing under him for three years. He learned and developed the skills to repair, design, and fabricate fine jewelry. The standards established seven decades years ago still remain the keystone of J. Dostie Jewelers, passed down through three generations.
