Our new office is located downtown in the historic Kress building, amid the Riverfront Shops. If you haven’t been downtown lately, you don’t want to miss all the renovations and growth that are happening.

The Beach Street Esplanade district is the core of Daytona Beach’s Riverfront and is undergoing a major face lift. Considerable Beach Street improvements have already been made, including widened pedestrian sidewalks, sculptural gateway elements, night lighting, and mature landscaping. Beach Street was modified to reduce lanes from four to two. This provides additional on-street parking with angled parking on the river side of the street as well as on the business side. Within the Esplanade district, the northern end of the Riverfront Park along the Halifax River has been undergoing a $25 million transformation. Planned renovations include a botanical garden, wedding venue, a splash pad, and interactive fountains.

The Riverfront Shops are located along historic Beach Street between Bay Street and Orange Avenue. Over 60 locally owned shops, business services, restaurants and unique entertainment attractions await you in a bustling, vibrant waterfront setting. Beach Street attractions include the Halifax Historical Museum and the Veterans Museum and Education Center. Downtown area attractions include Marina Point, Halifax Harbor Marina, the Sweetheart Trail, and the Jackie Robinson Ballpark, home of the Daytona Tortugas.

Proximity to aging parents and a desire to return to the South prompted my husband and I to leave California.We recently relocated to Florida and are living on the Central Coast, also referred to as the Space Coast. Steve is settling into his new job while I am busy setting up my jewelry appraising office in Titusville. I expect to be open for business by the end of the month. I’ve always dreamed about living and working on the coast in Florida. I marvel at how blessed we are to make that dream a reality.

In California I did a lot of appraisal work for several local jewelers and their clients.  While I did many appraisals, much of my business involved identifying gemstones and valuing estate jewelry. I also had many clients who were settling loved ones’ estates and needed their jewelry valued or appraised.

Some of my clients in California have asked if I can do appraisal and valuation work for them from my office in Florida. The answer is, yes, I can. Interested clients can mail their jewelry pieces to me. I am fully insured to send and receive jewelry shipped via mail. Please contact me for details.

I am excited about opening my business in Titusville. I’m eager to provide the same level of professionalism and quality service that I did in California. I look forward to establishing new client and jeweler relationships in Florida and exceeding the expectations of my clients.
