The quality is great and the designs and craftsmanship are beautiful.
“Bubar's is a great family-owned jewelry store. My late grandmother, mom, and I have bought pieces from the Bubars for close to forty years. The quality is great and the designs and craftsmanship are beautiful. I've always felt like I got as much or more than what I paid for.” – David I., InsiderPages Review
I was welcomed in the warmest way
“I just want to say thank you for the wonderful experience I had at your store. I was welcomed in the warmest way when I entered your store. I felt ashamed but all I needed was a ring guard, something none of the other stores seemed to carry. Your graciousness was remarkably kind for such a low item purchase. I came away so grateful for not only having what I wanted, but also feeling greatly encouraged by your kindness. Thank you so much! May you always prosper abundantly!” - Joyanne
Your skills & workmanship are superb...
no one can match your artistry.
"I thank you sincerely for the wonderful workmanship on my bracelet and necklaces. All are like new again, even though the necklace is over 150 years old. It was given to me over 13 years ago, and since then I have continuously worn it night and day. It is a part of my life, and I knew from previous experience in dealing with you, it was in safe hands. I only mention the above to show the trust I have in you and the joy you give to all of us when we see your ability and ingenuity.Your skills and workmanship are superb and no one can match your artistry and the techniques you employ in your work. WE are so lucky it have you and know you. You are one of a kind” - Katherine

Our History
![]() |
What is now a legacy, began only as “four walls and not much merchandise to sell”. Nat Bubar kicked off his jewelry career working nowhere better than the jewelry hub itself on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. Bubar’s profound love for the jewelry industry led to the opening of his first store on the Santa Monica Boulevard in 1945. Here, Nat cleverly stocked small appliances next to the watches to attract the business; little did he know there would be no problem there! During this time, customers would often pour in from the railroads and bus companies for watch inspections. As history played out, Bubar’s only continued to transform and grow into the legacy it is today. Nat proudly felt he had “created an institution through effort and hard work”. Fun Facts:
While the traditional railroads are long gone from the Santa Monica Area, the need for a good watch inspection and a friendly smile still remain as Bubar’s serves to fill the jewelry needs for all the Santa Monica residents and vistors afar. |
