Also: Financial group adds advisor
Granada Jewelers, which re-opened in Granada Plaza on July 26, has new owners, but visitors who remember the former jewelry store will see some familiar faces.
Last fall, owner Connie Miller closed the business after running it for two years after her husband, Bill, died. The Millers started the business 20 years ago.
Recently, their longtime jeweler, Mauricio Gaertner, and his wife Lily, brought the business back and are the new owners.
“I missed working here,” Gaertner said. “This was always the best store.”
He asked Miller if he could use the name, and she said yes. She asked if he needed a sales person, and now she works full time at the store.
“We’ve switched roles,” she said.
Gaertner, a third generation jeweler, denies being a boss.
“We work together,” he said.
Miller said she missed the store since the day she closed it.
“I love it,” she said. “I was so excited to see our old customers.”
At the old store, Gaertner worked only two days a week. Now, he said repairs will be much faster because he is there six days a week.
The familiar Seiko Melody Motion clocks that were in the old store are back in the new store. Miller said new items include the Endless line of charm bracelets, which have leather bands, Heartbeat pendants and interchangeable jewelry.
