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.
