Business Owner
Christine and her brother, Kelly Allen, inherited their father’s design models along with his studio in San Carlos. Gordon was one of the industry’s most admired designers, and they’re the fourth generation of their family to be in the business. Kelly learned from Gordon all aspects of jewelry making while he was in his teens, and was Gordon’s assistant for over 30 years. Today, Kelly and Christine use all of their knowledge to assist clients in selecting the perfect piece that fits their style and budget.
