Trinity Collection in Pensacola

We were talking about low sales-resistance . . . this is not about being in Kuwait. This is about my lack of resistance to buying beautiful jewelry!

As we were driving around in Pensacola, I spotted The Trinity Collection. There is a lot of very mediocre jewelry out there, but I had seen the Trinity ads earlier, and they had caught my eye.

“AdventureMan! Pull over! Pull over! It’s the Trinity Collection!” and I’m fighting him for the wheel so he can turn right and park and I can run into the store.

VERY smart store. So many beautiful things, AND a seating area for guys like AdventureMan.

I can’t blame Kuwait. I have found beautiful pieces in Kuwait. (Hint to any blogging friends who want to honor me with jewelry – look in your grandmother’s old collections! I love the old stuff, and the original Gulf pearls, and those tiny tiny pearls and gem pieces that the Qatteris are buying up for their museums.)

(Just kidding, by the way. DO NOT bring me jewelry! I can’t accept it!)

Anyway, I also found wonderful pieces in this beautiful shop, full of gems, and employing several original jewelers, who specialize particularly in religious jewelry, but also other beautiful pieces.

If you get to Pensacola – this shop has a lot of variety, in goods and in prices, and many exquisitely crafted jewelry pieces. This shop is worth a special trip.

  1. The extended Diamond family has been looking for an excuse to justify a warm-weather vacation. This one is perfect 🙂

  3. Spend your money someplace else! This place is only interested in sales, not you being happy with your purchase or your repeat business. A cute store front is all that they have.

  4. Gloria, I strongly disagree. They are a wonderful store! I shop there often, and find gifts there which are perfect! They also fix my broken jewelry, and restring my pearls.

    • So wish I could say the same! That was not my experience and I would not take that chance again and would not suggest anyone put themselves in that position to lose considerable money and be hugely disappointed!

      • I’ve been happily shopping there for three years now, and I just cannot imagine having a bad experience there. What was your experience, Gloria?
