Granted, my fancy smanshy hotel experience is limited. In fact, it's pretty much non-existant. I can't even remember too many hotels that I stayed in even having a gift shop, let alone a jewelry shop inside.

The first place that comes to mind is the tiny shop at the T-Water Hotel in Jamaica where we spent our honey moon a few million years ago. It was full of plastic mugs, beach towels, t-shirts, and shell jewelry. I did buy jewelry there, but I purchased mine from a Rasta named "Five" who lived on the beach.


Obviously, the jewelry shop called 1700 Ocean located in the in the lobby of the Loew's Santa Beach Hotel in Southern Californian is worlds away from the T-Water!

Their mission statement: It is 1700 Ocean's, Debra Savage, Earl Allen and all employees' mission to provide every customer either in our store or on our website with absolute best quality jewelry and gemstones available on the market.

The products designed by us or artists we choose to represent will be brought to you via a visible supply chain. In other words we will not, or can not support anyone or company who takes advantage ecologically, economically or inhumanely to bring their products to market.






I especially like the use of writing on these rings and pendant.
