Borthwick Jewelry

As we all know small family owned businesses are the cornerstone of America and symbolize the American dream. Starting on a shoe string budget, Tom Borthwick drove up and down I-5 in search of jewelry store displays at the company called Best, whose locations were going out of business.

Tom Borthwick found used showcases, used jewelry displays, used mirror wall to hold figurines, ring boxes that had Best's logo inside (to save money Tom printed his name using publisher and with double sided tape, taped his logo over the Best logo.)Tom decided the logo should be a side view of a diamond.
