Gem Business Brisk: While the retail industry is stuck in the doldrums, one Newport Beach jewelry store says its sales are so brisk--up 25% from a year ago--that it is moving to larger quarters.
Traditional Jewelers, hoping to capitalize on those gains, has moved from the Newport Hills Shopping Center to Fashion Island.
One special service that the store provides its customers is full-color artist’s renderings of custom-designed jewelry.
