MJ Christensen Diamonds

Before opening a jewelry store, Marcus Joy Christensen inspected railroad watches for Union Pacific in Las Vegas. In 1939 he opened MJ Christensen at First and Fremont, beginning a business whose present-day home is on West Charleston Boulevard.

The Miller family's chapter

Cliff and Darlene Miller are the current owners. They acquired a managing partnership in 2000 and became sole owners in December 2006, a history documented by both the company's own account and jewelry-industry reporting.

Cliff's earlier career covered several roles in the jewelry business, from stock work through company leadership. Darlene leads much of MJ's charitable involvement. The store's published history describes support for organizations including Opportunity Village, Best Buddies and Dress for Success Southern Nevada, along with in-store fundraising.

Jewelry with a design conversation

Rusty Miller represents the next generation of the family in the business. His work includes custom jewelry and redesigning inherited pieces, with the company's biography describing advanced GIA and AGS credentials and more than thirty years in the industry.

For customers, that custom service sits alongside a retail selection of fine jewelry and timepieces. Designer Gabriel & Co. independently lists MJ Christensen as an authorized retailer, confirming the West Charleston location and its connection to that collection.

The business's approach includes consultations about a new engagement ring or a piece made from an existing idea or heirloom. A customer can bring the story and intended use of the jewelry into that discussion, while the design and material choices are worked out with the store.

Visiting the Charleston store

MJ Christensen publishes its location at 8980 West Charleston Boulevard and offers appointment requests through its contact page. The same page provides a phone number for questions about a collection, a design consultation or a planned visit.
