Kimberly and Raymond Holtorf have been bringing custom jewelry ideas to life since 1998, though Kim began much earlier when she received a tin of costume jewelry from her late grandmother.
“My earliest memory of making jewelry was in second grade. I recreated the jewelry from the tin and proudly gave “Kimberly Originals” to all my second grade teachers! I was always in my mother’s jewelry box!”
After an education from jewelry manufacturing school (PTEC) in St. Petersburg Florida, University of South Florida, and Gemology Institute of America, we began our own company out of our home. Then in 1998 Kimberly and Raymond together opened Romantique Jewelers.
Romantique Jewelers specializes in custom jewelry, including pieces from a variety of artists and manufacturers. From platinum and diamonds to Victorian jewelry, Romantique has one of the largest selections in the area.
