Hight & Randall, Personal Jeweler

Since 1995, Barbara and Randy have truly become Rochester’s “personal jewelers”. Randy, a Twin Cities native, has 45 years experience in the jewelry industry. He began in 1977 as a jewelry sales associate for Donaldson’s Department Store, then stepped up to a management position with Unique Diamond Centers, a six-store chain based in the Twin Cities. Randy has focused on the business of jewelry; he joined J.B. Hudson Jewelers, managing their downtown Minneapolis flagship store. He later joined Buchkosky Jewelers, and subsequently bought their store in Edina, MN. Barbara’s jewelry career began 38 years ago as an instructor in all areas of gemology for the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) throughout the United States and overseas. This experience expanded to the largest diamond cartel in the world, DeBeers. As their Midwest Director she shared her knowledge of gemology, advertising, promotion, and retail experience with jewelers around the world. Together they bring their combined knowledge and experience to the Rochester area at Hight & Randall.
