Glenda Queen and Terry Brumbaugh have been in the jewelry business so long, they're now creating wedding bands for the children of couples whose rings they made decades ago. With 40 years in the trade, their shop, with its big Dutch doors and friendly staff, is welcoming and completely unpretentious, and their collections feel fresh and contemporary, creative and fun. Each case bursts with jellybean color–yellow diamonds, orange sapphires, pistachio-green pearls and other exotic gems, set in rose, yellow and white gold and, especially, in platinum. Glenda (who apprenticed with George McLean) and Terry (a second-generation gemologist and designer) have an affection for combining simple, unfussy shapes and highly unusual materials to create fine jewelry that goes as well with Levi's as it does with black tie. The shop also carries collections by designers from around the world, including Turkish-born, New York-based Gurhan, International Carolyn Tyler and German jewelry legend, Bunz.
