Our first U.S. showroom opened in 2018, and our growth since then reflects our unwavering commitment to offering exquisite jewelry and exceptional service. With successful showrooms in New Jersey, Dallas, Chicago, and Naperville, we are confident that our Los Angeles venture will be equally successful."
