Our Story
Life is too short to wear ordinary jewelry.
Kansas City’s destination for Estate, Vintage, and Custom Jewelry since 1965.
It Started in a Station Wagon
In 1965, Abe and Lillian Chaitman started with next to nothing but a vision. Driving their station wagon from show to show, they built a reputation for finding the unfindable—rare Georgian pieces, Art Deco treasures, and even royal commissions from Austria.
Today, that same passion lives on. We’ve traded the station wagon for our showroom in Leawood, but the mission remains the same: treat every customer like family and never sell boring jewelry.
