The Off White Gallery in Avalon on Catalina Island was opened by owner and goldsmith Dave Stein in 1975. Tony Orozco, goldsmith, joined the gallery in 1981. Ellen Hodge, store manager, was with the gallery since 1986.
Their trademark had become the unusual -- the custom designed, stunning pieces featured here on this website, which are complemented by Mabe pearls, Diamonds, Emeralds, and other rare gems. All of the items displayed here were hand made by Dave and his staff on Catalina Island. Their objective was to capture the beauty found in the undersea world and transform it into the highest quality 14k gold. This selection of fine jewelry is based on Dave Stein's original themes that were the foundation of his outstanding reputation for quality.
He has since retired to Mexico, and a long time fan with a keen eye for esthetics, John Haupt, could not bear to see Mr. Stein melt down the remainder of his inventory. John is now offering these pieces that are no longer in production to you at a substantial discount. Any questions please call 310-510-1183 or email us. We ask that when calling or emailing you provide a description of the piece in question (visible at the top or bottom of each page) in order to help us provide you with a more accurate answer.
