History
Lorraine Fine Jewelry was co-founded by Naim and Lorraine Tunca in 1999 when they relocated to the Inland Northwest after twenty years of selling exquisite creations in Santa Monica, California.
Our reputation and experience as master jewelers are as rare as the pieces we create. We capitalize on expertise and unique relationships gained from a five-generation lineage in the industry. Our team of skilled artisans combine timeless traditions with trend-setting fashions to handcraft beautiful, one-of-a-kind, color gemstone jewelry you can find only with us.
Naim Tunca
“Like every customer, every stone is individual and unique.”
Naim’s journey into the world of jewelry began in 1960s Istanbul, Turkey, when he entered his family’s goldsmithing business as an 8-year-old apprentice. At the time, jewelers’ designs focused on gold alone, but by his teenage years, Naim was ready for a new challenge: the revolutionary territory of diamonds and color gemstones.
Naim became fascinated with the allure of color-stones. Their exciting individuality, capable of transforming each piece of jewelry into something utterly unique, led him to explore new techniques and foreign countries where he could discover the gems at their sources. A combination of travel to these sources and connections developed over his family’s five-generation history in the industry gives Naim access to an exclusive inventory at the best prices.
After moving to the United States and opening his first jewelry store in Santa Monica, Naim’s style has continued to evolve with current trends and client needs. His primary concern has always been his clients’ happiness. Lorraine Fine Jewelry’s clients all agree that Naim’s urbane manner and sophisticated tastes support them in making the best choices for their jewelry design.
Lorraine Tunca
“A luxury experience for everyone, whether you’re a celebrity or stay-at-home mom."
For Lorraine, jewelry evokes emotion. Designs are inspired by milestones in life, loved ones, unforgettable places, perfect moments.
Lorraine sees fashion as an essential form of self-expression, and jewelry as the most timeless aspect of that self-expression. Her vision is that clients will collaborate with her and Lorraine Fine Jewelry’s team of designers to create their own personalized fashion rules.
Her philosophy focuses on educating wearers so that they can make the perfect statement about their lifestyle, no matter who they are or where they live. Lorraine Fine Jewelry’s clients agree that Lorraine is a breath of fresh air, cooperating with Naim in a perfect balance. Her advice and support helps customers achieve an indispensable marriage between fashion and function that makes a piece of jewelry truly classic and unforgettable.
