A Celebration of Fine Jewelry in Pasadena, CA

Your neighborhood jeweler is open in Pasadena. If you are looking for a trusted source for diamonds, gold, and everything sparkly, look no farther. Whether you want that perfect engagement ring, a wedding or anniversary band, a gift of earrings, bracelets, or necklaces, or a watch, stop in to talk with our experienced jewelers and browse our curated selection in an unparalleled setting.

Our Pasadena Flagship

Our showroom sits in a majestic space built in 1928, a historic landmark in Pasadena’s Playhouse District at 587 E. Colorado Boulevard. The entrance features a soaring 30-foot coffered ceiling with exquisite chandeliers, and wall murals painted by Impressionist artist Alson S. Clark. The building spent its first life as a bank, and the vault survives in the basement, now an intimate event space rather than a strongroom.

It is also a homecoming. We opened our very first California store in Pasadena in the 1950s, so more than a century of expertise has come back to the street where our California story started.

What You’ll Find Inside

Behind the architecture is a working showroom: state-of-the-art diamond viewing rooms for comparing stones under controlled light, individual designer boutiques, a master jeweler on site, and a hospitality lounge with a baby grand piano. We host local vendors and community partners in the space too, which is part of what being a neighborhood jeweler means to us.

The counters run from lab-grown and natural stones through bespoke designer jewelry and luxury watches, and the studio takes in heirloom restoration. The point of the range is longevity: we would rather be the jeweler you return to for the next milestone than the one you visited once.

Inside the Designer Boutiques

Three of the houses with a home in the Pasadena boutiques are Tacori, Verragio, and A.JAFFE. All three of the rings below are settings, sold without a center stone, which is exactly why they pair with the diamond viewing rooms: you choose the design first, then choose the diamond that goes in it. Each is built for a different center shape, so they are a fair illustration of how far apart three white gold settings can sit.

Verragio 18K White Gold Natural Diamond Engagement Ring Setting 1 ct. tw.

• Built to take a round center stone
• Milgrain finish, catalogued by Verragio as a vintage design
• The widest band of the three at 2.8 mm, carrying 1 ct. tw. of accents

A.JAFFE 14K White Gold Natural Diamond Engagement Ring Setting 1 ct. tw.

• Built to take a princess cut center stone
• Rhodium plated 14k white gold, polished rather than milgrained
• A substantial 3.3 mm shank with 1 ct. tw. of accents

The Robbins Brothers Difference

A landmark building is a nice place to start, but what you actually come for is the guidance. We have helped couples through this decision for more than 100 years, and our approach in Pasadena is the same as in every one of our showrooms: we guide rather than pressure, and every guest gets our full attention whether they are buying a first ring or marking fifty years together.

Only 1 in 10 diamonds meets our standards, so every stone in the viewing rooms has already been hand-selected. We carry both lab-grown and natural diamonds and will explain the trade-offs without steering you toward either. Our master jeweler works on site, and every purchase is backed by our best-in-class lifetime warranty covering cleaning, inspection, and repairs at any of our showrooms across California, Arizona, Texas, and Washington.

Come See It for Yourself

The reimagined bank vault, the opulent pillars, and the preserved murals are all still here, and you do not need an occasion to come look at them. Stop in to our Pasadena showroom and get that red-carpet-style pampering any day of the week.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Robbins Brothers Pasadena showroom located?

You’ll find us at 587 E. Colorado Boulevard, in the Playhouse District. Look for the 1928 landmark on the corner; the building was a bank long before it was a jewelry showroom, and the entrance gives it away. Plan your visit at robbinsbrothers.com/pasadena.

What can I shop for at the Pasadena flagship?

Our Pasadena showroom carries engagement rings, wedding and anniversary bands, fine jewelry, and luxury watches, plus loose diamonds in both types and bespoke designer pieces. Our experienced jewelers are happy to walk you through the full collection during your visit, and there is no expectation that you buy on the day.

Do I need an appointment to visit the Pasadena store?

Walk-ins are always welcome, but we recommend booking a personalized consultation so you have dedicated time with one of our jewelry experts. If you want a diamond viewing room specifically, booking ahead is the way to be sure one is free. You can reserve a spot at robbinsbrothers.com/appointment.

Are there private diamond viewing rooms in Pasadena?

Yes. Our Pasadena flagship features state-of-the-art VIP diamond viewing rooms where you can examine hand-selected diamonds under ideal lighting. Only 1 in 10 diamonds meets our standards, and our consultants will help you compare stones side by side.

Which designers are carried in the Pasadena boutiques?

The showroom houses dedicated designer boutiques, including Tacori and Verragio, alongside A.JAFFE and our wider roster of designer partners. Browse our designer collections, and ask a consultant to pull pieces from more than one house so you can compare them in the same light.

Can the Pasadena showroom help with custom design and repairs?

Absolutely. We have a master jeweler on site for in-house customization, heirloom restoration, repairs, and cleaning. Whether you’re designing something new or reimagining a family heirloom, our master jeweler can build it with you, and the work stays in the building rather than being sent out.

Does Pasadena offer both lab-grown and natural diamonds?

Yes, we offer both. Our jewelry consultants can help you understand the differences and choose the diamond type that aligns with your values and your budget, with no pressure either way.

Can I hold an event at the Pasadena showroom?

The basement vault is used for gatherings rather than storage now, and the showroom floor has hosted pop-ups and community partners. What is possible depends on the date and the size of the group, so ask a consultant and we will point you to the right person.
