This jeweler has been opened in Belmont Shore since 1932 and is famous in Long Beach not in small part because of the deep water-diving poodle that stars in the commercials that air on television. The poodle goes deep-sea diving for rare jewels, and when you walk in the store and actually see the poodle you feel like you are seeing a star as he greets you in a friendly, will not-leave-you-alone manner. The store sells estate jewelry, lots of gold, diamonds and watches. The staff will specially order items if you do not see what you are looking for. Repairs are also available.
The size and scope of this cavernous store will blow your mind. It has been open since 1957 and features both wine and beer.

In addition to wine and beer, it sells spirits, cigars, chocolate and coffee.
