Jaime Rubini began rowing as a teenager in Lima, Peru. In the late
1960s he traveled to the United States in search of more serious
competition and coaching. Since then he has been a passionate rower.
The early 1970's found Jaime honing his skills as the goldsmith for
he and then wife Susan's fledgling business Rubini Jewelers,
incorporated in 1975.
In 1990, Jaime created his first rowing jewelry items as an excuse
to escape to regattas to race-wily man!
We continue to create new designs of all shapes and sizes-using
either our materials or yours. And the store is now chock full of
Rubini's: Jaime still creating jewelry, his brother Virgilio pumping
life back into watches & the captain behind our laser engraving,
mother Raquel restringing necklaces & doing our displays STILL at 80
years young, new wife Yolande coming up with new designs & ideas &
pushing Rubini Jewelers into the next century, & daughter
Joanna-jack of everything else that needs doing...like writing this
:o)
By the way, we guarantee our precious metal rowing jewelry (except
chains), so if it breaks we'll fix it free of charge! All you have
to do is pay shipping to and from us.
Have fun browsing through our site. We're sure you'll find something
that pleases you. If you don't, call us with an idea -- 703-548-5509
-- and we'll produce it for you!
