Rebecca Atwood

Rebecca lives in Timberville, having raised her family (now grown up) in Port Republic, Virginia.

Rebecca has over fifteen years experience within the industry, and a lifetime love affair with rocks. Her dad is a geologist, so Rebecca grew up with rocks in the house. She brings her love of rocks and gems to her to her work and enjoys sharing her enthusiasm with her customers.

"I've never met a rock I didn't like."

- Rebecca Atwood

The interesting mineral specimens you see in the store are some of Rebecca's contributions -- many of them from her own collection. She is one of the few pearl stringers in the area.

Rebecca has been with the following Harrisonburg stores:

• Wilson Jewelers
• A Different Facet
