When Ron and Marg Bowers opened Bowers Jewelers on La Jolla's Wall Street in 1945, they could never have known that their business would become one of the longest-standing retail landmarks in the community. Sixty-five years and a few blocks later in the heart of Girard Avenue, Bowers Jewelers, under the ownership of Larry and Sheila Combe, is still a thriving La Jolla business.
Our history is one of family tradition and loyalty. Larry's mother, Adele, once worked as a designer for the store. Larry joined her as an employee before purchasing the business in 1981. Since then, he and Sheila, his wife of 39 years, have been operating the business.
Bowers is the go-to store for La Jollans when it comes to fine jewelry, unique trinkets, jewelry repairs, and exceptional, personalized service. With an unparalleled selection, fine quality, and real personality, the family atmosphere at Bowers is contagious. Patrons are encouraged to pull up a chair while they marvel at the many unique necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, and timepieces on the showroom floor. The folks at Bowers remain true to their customers and work tirelessly to provide quality products at fair prices. Boasting a highly-qualified, passionate, and friendly staff, Bowers keeps the tradition of old La Jolla alive and well.
