Coming Soon..............


Wow....Are we excited about our new store ready to open in May! This is the store we have dreamed about. We have been asked by many customers "Why are you guy's leaving the mall?"
The answer to that is the ridiculous rising costs of just being in the mall....and we really wanted to have our own hours, parking close to the store and our staff have really earned a break from working the long haul hours which are dictated by Mall Owners. The new location is on the corner of SW Hall & Greenburg Rd which is less than a one minute drive from the Washington Square Mall parking lot! We will feature a new custom jewelry design center, expanded Goldsmith's shop, Simon G gallery and a few other cool surprises! We will be keeping you up to date when the store opens. There is still lots of work on the building......Keep your ring fingers crossed that we will open on time.

WHAT A COOL STORY!


The above photo is the earliest known piece of gold jewelry that was discovered in Peru. The necklace, made nearly 4,000 years ago was found in a burial site near Lake Titcaca. It is assumed that a society needed to be settled to produce agricultural surpluses that can support activities such as making ornamental objects. Some experts feel it is a symbol of commitment. The stones are Turquoise with natural gold bars that had been carved and strung. We thought our business was old turning 99 years next November!!!!!!!!

LA ROG TV AD FEATURED IN MOTION PICTURE

It was about one year ago that a Hollywood studio contacted us with the idea about using one of our TV commercials in a movie to be filmed in our hometown Portland...Well a year sure flies by fast, because low & behold our TV ad is in the movie "Untraceable" starring Diane Lane. They spent a few months here in the Rose City using site locations in the area. It was fun going to the theatre and seeing our ad appear on the big silver screen! It was nice that they wanted a local independent jeweler's ad instead of a national chain spot. The only thing that was a little strange was the scene they used when our ad came on the TV set.....but the whole movie is a thriller/ slasher/ Silence of the Lambs type of a film anyway! The producers made Portland look like the worst city on the planet with dark dreary scenery and lots of rain (yeah it does rain here quite a bit...We have to admit)......It is a good thriller & worth going to the theatre to see it. That is all for now!
