William Harold Jewelers - Newport Beach Fine Jeweler - 08/01/09 08:42 PM
William Harold Jewelers is one of my favorite places to browse.  The first time I was in the store, I was around 13 years old and in with my mom.  It was always a treat to see the beautiful jewelry, try some on and occasionally take a prized piece home.

William Harold Jewelers was established in Newport Beach in 1969 and is family run.  Though Tim Harold Sr. still does all of the buying, supervises the establishment and is available by appointment, his son, Tim, is now often found behind the counters full of beautiful baubles and jewels.
