A LITTLE ABOUT GEOFFREY'S

Who is Geoffrey? A definitely anal compulsive (or is it anal-compulsive?) and obsessive personality who has a passion and deep-seated love for the San Francisco Giants and high-end jewelry (in that order, too). He believes that he makes a significant difference in this world by educating people on the nuances of their jewelry. Geoffrey’s quest for the perfect jewelry experience for his customers runs in his genes (not to be confused with the bell-bottom jeans he loves to wear), as his dad was renowned San Francisco jeweler for almost 40 years and taught him that every customer deserves to be treated with polite respect. Of course, once he knows you, his bizarre sense of humor surfaces!! Since he is so anal and obsessive, our greatest joy in life is to interrupt him (several times) during his closing routine countdown, so that he has to start over!

SONNY: The Gentle Head Angel of Geoffrey’s. She attempts to keep all of us on the straight and narrow; (to no avail). She has been given the task to keep Geoffrey organized, but chaos seems to be hardwired into his DNA! She has a passion for diamonds, fabulous customer service and SHOPPING! Just how big is her closet?

STEVEN: Gemologist, GIA. Little did we know, that the day we hired him, we would be in for one wild ride! He has a passion for all aspects of the jewelry industry as well as a very bizarre sense of humor and thermal nuclear temper! Nothing is sacred to him. We think that he’s actually an alien from the planet Q, here to enslave the male masses! Fear not Earthlings, He’ll be gentle!

JOANN: The latest addition to the Geoffrey’s family of misfits. She is a DCA certified diamondologist and colored stone specialist. You can often find her flying high…in her airplane, that is! She has triplets, of the four-legged doggie type and loves them to death. (Since she’s the newbie at Geoffrey’s, we’re still compiling dirt on her…stay tuned!) Her favorite word: Prada!

SHERRY: Head Wife and Geoffrey’s better half for more years than we care to mention! (Why is it that she looks younger each year and Geoffrey looks older?) She is the glue that binds and the creator of the more humorous parts of this presentation. She is also a Master Hypnotherapist (don’t worry...she only uses it on Geoffrey, not on customers).

WENDI: Our Jeweler Extraordinaire. She has been a jeweler…for a very long time! A fey spirit who is in reality a Harley riding babe, we know that one of these days her creative head pieces will connect with the mother ship! We often wonder what is really in that Wizard of Oz lunchbox.

MICHAEL: One of the part time members of our team who has a true passion for the finest in quality. He is a kind hearted, gentle soul who fits in perfectly. But some of us think he is actually a Cosmopolitan Man of Mystery, sent to gather the dirt on all of us!

SHARON: Our pious bookkeeper who thankfully prays for us on a weekly, if not daily basis, and boy do we need it! She keeps us all fat and happy with all the homemade goodies that she brings into the store. Her battle cry every time we look at new jewelry to purchase for the store…DON’T SPEND TOO MUCH! Her favorite three letters in the English alphabet; QVC.
