Hear our story.....
In 1977 a man wanted to buy a diamond for his wife's 10th anniversary, being
that he had never given his wife one before. A relative referred him to a diamond importer, where he was taught all of the different characteristics of a diamond. Not only did this man buy the diamond for his wife, but he also decided to use all of his family's savings of $1000 to buy gold jewelry to sell. From that point on he sold his initial investment and continued to reinvest and build his small business. In 1979 he opened his small store in a booth at The Encino Jewelry Mart.
After 41 years, that small store is heading in a new direction. With changing times Galinda's has changed its business model, yet is continuing with it's great service and fair pricing of fine quality jewelry.
Hi! My name is Tina and that story above is of my father, Galo. He is not only my father, he was and continues to be my mentor. I grew up in this business and through the decades of being by his side I have learned and loved how this complicated business of many facets work. I am able to create a beautiful piece from your imagination to the finished product. I am knowledgeable in most all aspects of the jewelry business from diamonds, gem stones, precious metals, designer watches
and CAD Imagery with a team of craftsmen who put it all into production. I am now a concierge jeweler.
Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have and we will do our best to help guide you in the right direction for your purchase, redesign, estate sale, repair, insurance appraisal and anything else that we are able to assist you with. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you and as always cannot wait to begin a new jewelry relationship.
