As a child living in Peru, Javier Barrantes wanted to be a Reporter. Perhaps that explains his dynamic personality and talkative nature. This welcoming presence is the first thing you notice when you visit JB Jewelers, located in Clairemont, San Diego. So how did Javier end up being the owner of a jewelry store? Its simple. He became passionate about the industry after having worked as a manager for several family-owned jewelry companies throughout San Francisco and Los Angeles for over a decade. His dream of opening his own jewelry business was finally realized in 2002 when he took over this local shop, appropriately renaming it JB Jewelers. Javiers store, open Monday through Saturday and two Sundays in December, is well known for its thorough repair services for jewelry and watches. You dont need to go far or wait very long for these repairs either, as they are all done in-house by their master jeweler with over 40 years of experience. However, JB Jewelers is much more than that.
