Maxson Consignment Jewelers
This is our about us page, you clicked on it, so how about a quick life story!
My father, Max, founded his first jewelry business in 1978. While working on oil rigs in South America, he would stop off in port and buy precious gemstones to bring back for sale in the US as a side hustle. In a time before the internet, or even reliable international phone directories, he found a lot of success filling a briefcase full of amethyst one month and driving it around to different shops across the US the next month. Eventually he started doing jewelry shows and opened a brick-and-mortar shop in his college town of Columbia, Missouri.
Fast forward many years and he was ready to "retire" by opening a relaxed shop in Corona del Mar, CA. After many success years there, he passed away in December of 2016, wherein I took over and operated Corona del Mar Jewelry Consignment for 3 years. I sold the shop just before the pandemic to do medical sales, which I found great success in doing so, however I felt I should be spending this time building my own business rather than someone else's. So here I am! I found a lovely location on Avenida Del Mar in San Clemente and couldn't be happier to bring my father and I's vision to southern Orange County.
