The family-owned operation, which began in Santa Ana, has served the community for 60 years, with the third generation of the Uyesagi family now in the management fold. Allan Uyesugi, son of the late founder Mas, was once the youngest instructor at the Gemological Institute of America. His son, Steven, also is a GIA graduate, with a passion for design and high-quality watches.

In fact, the personalized service and community connection that makes AA Jewel Box a favorite is due in part to the fact that only family members work at the store.

An authorized retailer of more than 20 name-brand collections ranging from classic elegance to modern chic, AA Jewel Box can offer glamour and glitz without fuss.
