Rare opportunity to acquire a long-established independent fine-jewelry retailer, custom-design studio, and specialized repair business serving a desirable Southern California market. The company combines curated merchandise, milestone-based sales, and service-driven revenue in a trusted local platform built over more than three decades.100k of inventory (at cost) is included in the asking price.
The business offers branded fine jewelry, bridal and custom-designed pieces, jewelry repair and restoration, appraisal coordination, engraving, restringing, and facilitated high-end watch repair. A long-tenured master goldsmith supports on-site technical work, while prepaid repairs, made-to-order custom pieces, and strong customer loyalty contribute to favorable cash conversion and repeat engagement.
Management estimates that approximately 70% to 75% of sales come from repeat customers. The company benefits from deep community goodwill, a sizable legacy customer database, long-standing vendor relationships, experienced personnel, a secure showroom, and a differentiated product and service offering.
Current operations are limited to weekdays, creating clear upside through weekend hours, a refreshed digital presence, e-commerce or appointment-assisted selling, modern CRM and point-of-sale tools, broader outreach to younger and non-bridal consumers, and more frequent designer events. The owner is prepared to support an orderly transition and introduce a qualified buyer to key customers, vendors, employees, service providers, and the landlord.
