Robert's
Diamond Showcase has been serving the Hanford and the surrounding
areas since 1969. The store was opened by Robert (Bob) Van
Gundy after 25 years as a watchmaker and jeweler, working
for others. Before Bob enlisted in the Air Force to serve
during WWII, he worked in a jewelry store in Salina, Kanasa
from whence he hails. After the war, Bob returned to what
he knew best - the jewelry industry.
Now, some
40 years later, he still works in the store he founded, and
he has shaped it to represent his likeness: A friendly, sincere
staff with a desire to serve and help all of those in the
jewelry purchasing or repairing market.
His daughter
Linda did not engage in the jewelry business as a young adult,
and found her calling in the medical field as an x-ray technologist.
However, about 20 years ago, she returned to the Valley where
she was born, and began working with her dad in this field
much more suited to her personality. If you know Linda, you
know her famous laugh, and you can deduce that a jewelry store
with so many happy occasions makes laughing a natural.
Adam Wimer
is also a part of the Robert's family. He came to work for
the Van Gundy's in 2007 and has grown into a superb jewelry
professional. His lifelong love of precious gems gives him
an insatible thirst for knowledge about all things jewelry,
and he is absolutely one of the most trusted diamond profesionals
you will ever find in any jewelry store. Through these last
two years, Adam has evolved into someone you can talk to about
anything, especially precious gems. He is the personification
of what Robert's is all about: Professional, knowledgeable,
and most of all a sincere, just wonderful person who makes
purchasing an easy and exciting experience.
We welcome
you to our store and our invite you to become one of our valued
customers, and find out why so many people in the area know
and trust us when purchasing or restoring their most precious
keepsakes.
