About Us

Meet Justin Garcia

Justin started in this industry at age 15 helping out during christmas hours at a private family Jeweler. He took this part time job and  turned it into an exciting career choice! Years later after a degree from Kent State University in Economics, and further-more a degree from the GIA, The Gemological Institute of America in Diamonds and Diamond Grading, Justin made the decision to purchase and re-open La Placa Jewelers in May of 2008! Justin personally does all the loose diamond buying as well as helping customers choose and creat their dream ring!  Justin also does insurance appraisals and handles all of the buying from the public!

 

Meet Vincent Garcia

Vincent is the younger brother of Justin. "Vinnie" wasted no time out of high school getting into the jewelry business, he also attended the GIA and graduated as a Master Jeweler!
