Mitch Forest has been in the jewelry industry since 1969. For the first 5 years he was the manager of a small but very successful "mom and pop" store in Whitestone Queens, N.Y. While there Mitch learned watch repair from the owner and had apprenticed himself to a silversmith from Germany and to a goldsmith/jeweler from Argentina. Both of these gentlemen taught Mitch the skills they learned the old fashioned way by being in the classic type of apprentice systems in their native countries. Going to the Gemological Institute of America in the early 70's, Mitch learned about the technical laboratory skills to differentiate gems. Those skills were used on his frequent field trips around the country and to Brazil where he bought and shipped into the country `1000 kilos of rock and gem material.

In 1977 Mitch and Saul, who taught him his gold/platinum skills partnered up and opened a shop on Fifth Ave in New York. Saul had been working for several top designers and together he and Mitch continued design and manufacture. Pieces they produced or worked on for these designers won many awards over the years and were sold at the finest salons and stores.

In 1982 an opportunity led Mitch to open a store in Princeton, New Jersey. Since opening, the store has grown fantastically. Forest Jewelers stands apart from the other fine jewelry stores in that it is owned by an actual hands-on jeweler, who has a huge knowledge of design, materials and a plethora of contacts within the industry who supply him with items not usually seen by your typical stores. These supply contacts make items available to Mitch because of their long-term relationships.
