My maternal grandfather Ruben Pellish (Rubie as we called him) began the original company in 1926 with his watchmaker brother Uncle Dave.  Unfortunately he was the victim of an armed robbery in 1962 in his downtown Denver retail store. Wisely he courted insurance companies to refer replacements to him for a discount on the replacement jewelry, and was able to move to a locked setting.  I have continued his tradition since 1985 with pride.  Like him, I believe the exercise of jewelry is the expression of sentiment.  My mother Kay, an integral part of the business, worked with me for many years. In addition to insurance replacements, I do appraising, including working with attorneys and insurance companies on estates or cases regarding jewelry.  My background is fine arts and forte jewelry design. I have featured on the website some of my custom work and designs.  I believe my responsibility is to use my expertise with jewelry to fulfill the client's vision or needs with honesty and integrity.

And greatest thanks to my husband/partner Len, with whom I created this web site as well as a web application for insurances carriers to value jewelry and an appraisal application for jewelers.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us.
