Pejmani of Belgium has only been open one full calendar year (it opened in the middle of 2012) so owner Ramin Movahedi considers it a true honor to have been voted the best jewelry store. Pejmani pieces are special, individually hand made, and for the workmanship and diamond quality, not set at crazy prices. It helps that there is no middleman or multiple middlemen supplying the stones. At Pejmani, prices are displayed, a rather uncommon practice at high end jewelry stores. United Way and Voices for Children are both happy to be partnered with them and appreciate their generosity in hosting events in the store or providing items for silent auction.
