Our story begins

After selling designer jewelry and Rolex men’s and women’s watches for more than 10 years at a fine jewelry establishment, Louis A Guarino Jr. along with his wife Veronica establish their own store. Using phone books and word of mouth, the couple develops a network of clientele from across Pittsburgh, Western Pennsylvania, and beyond.
