Finley’s owner David Blank can still remember when his uncle, a flashy New York stonecutter for Harry Winston, would cruise up to his house in a chauffeured Mercedes Benz. “I just thought he was the coolest guy ever,” Blank said. Blank has always had a passion for the mechanical aspect of manufacturing jewelry and watches. In pursuit of his jewelry passion, he attended the Gemological Institute of America.
Finley’s comfortable store in the Redondo Riviera prides itself on its honest, customer service. “We never turn anyone away. I don’t care if you have broken Casio or a broken Patek Philippe. We’ll fix it.” Blank said. -AK
