Forty years ago, a young couple spent their life savings to open a little store in Queens, NY. Their first day was hardly a grand opening; Ram was recuperating from an emergency appendectomy while Jane was biding her time creating her first window display and fine tuning the little product they had to sell. When a family friend walked by and saw people gathered around the window, she convinced Jane to open her door for the first time, ready or not!
Since that first thrilling day, Ram and Jane have become a family of five, with a small chain of seasonal jewelry stores extending from New Hampshire to Florida. Ram's passion for finding truly unique, beautiful jewelry has expanded his travels all across the country, while Jane continues to develop ever creative ways to display their finds, (antique egg beaters, hanging bicycles, you name it)!
All the while, they have generously shared the joys and challenges of their calling with their children. As their middle daughter, some of my earliest summer memories involve teetering on a stool near the cash register, ringing up patient customers and soaking up the lessons of a business built on enthusiasm and hard work.
