Los Angeles—Robbins Brothers Fine Jewelers has opened a new 8,000-square-foot showroom in Pasadena, California, housed in a 1920s landmark building.
The move into Pasadena is a historic homecoming, said the company, which opened its first California store in Pasadena in the 1950s.
Founded in Seattle in 1921, the jeweler now operates 14 stores across Washington, California, Texas, and Arizona.
The building that houses the new store, located in Pasadena’s Playhouse District, was built in 1928. The space gives a grand and elegant vibe, with 30-foot coffered ceilings on the first floor and chandeliers.
It also features wall murals painted by Impressionist artist Alson S. Clark in the early 1920s.
“With Pasadena at the heart of their history, this exquisite venue serves as a nod to the past, while also celebrating Robbins Brothers’ legendary commitment to service and craftsmanship,” said the company.
The showroom includes diamond viewing rooms, designer boutiques, a master jeweler for in-house repairs, customization, and cleaning, as well as a VIP hospitality lounge.
The retailer carries several bridal and fine jewelry designers, including Tacori, A. Jaffe, Verragio, and Gabriel & Co., as well as watch brands.
