So much of my beautiful jewelry came from Kaplans, both on Rolfe St. & then later in Garden City. They did a beautiful job in making me an original ruby & diamond dinner ring. The designer even let me choose my own ruby from the ruby salesman. Talk about being a kid in a candy store! The Kaplan's were wonderful people. So sad they lost their loved ones in a plane crash.
I worked at James Kaplan Jewelers in the stockroom from 1974 - 1980. It was my first job. The Kaplan family were wonderful people and treated their employees with respect and dignity.
I was just a simple customer during my high school and college years but it was obvious to me just what great people Jake and his family were. I think back after a half century away from RI still convinced that they were simply totally decent people.
Sometime in the early to mid 80's, I purchased an initial K ring (in diamonds, set in gold) that I paid $212 for. I absolutely loved that ring!! It was of sturdy quality, unlike the flimsy initial rings other places were selling. It was stolen in Dec of 2016 along with alot of other jewelry. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me where I can get another one jyst like it?????
