Dear friends,

     From 1976 in the attic at Quackenbush to Southtowne and finally Garfield Station I have tried to remain Eugene’s Personal Jeweler. After fifty years I decided to retire from the store and let my associates continue without my looking over their shoulders. They have been handling things well for a long time. The shop will continue to feature custom design and repair. With some specialties in hand engraving and jewelry restoration I know they can do well. Jen, my shop foreman will put her own stamp on the place so my name will come off, but you can trust things will continue as before. Look for Shalines’s Custom Jewelry and Repair.So many of you have become friends who know me and my family. So I would like to take the weeks in early September to see as many of you as I can. I will also have a little event at the store on September 23rd, to make it a fond farewell. So goodbye Beaudet Jewelry Design. Now I can conjure up my own pieces and offer them on my website charlesbeaudet.net. I will also put in my opinions, tips and information there to help anyone who cares about how to approach buying jewelry that maintains value and durability. So much today is made without care that I’ve used my advertising over this last year to offer how to care for jewelry and what to look for. For me, turning 79 is also an opportunity to travel in our own great country so though I’ll stop by Jen’s shop now and then to say Hi, I will be posting from who knows where most of the time. Looking forward to seeing you.

Charles M. Beaudet
