Several jewelry stores are among the 2,000 structures reported to have been destroyed by the unchecked Los Angeles area wildfires, which have killed at least five people and caused thousands of others to evacuate.
In Pacific Palisades, Jaimie Geller Jewelry’s boutique, fashion and jewelry retailer Elyse Walker, and J.J. Martin’s yet-to-open store all burned to the ground.
Martin reported on Instagram that her Milan-based brand La DoubleJ’s first U.S. store, which had been set to open in six weeks, burned down.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has reported over 13,900 emergency responses and estimated that more than 29,000 acres have burned so far in Pacific Palisades as well as nearby areas including Altadena, Sylmar, Acton, and Hollywood Hills.
A number of Los Angeles area jewelry stores and design studios. including Lili Claspe, Catbird, and Single Stone, said they would temporarily close out of caution and concern for their employees.
The International Gemological Institute (IGI), which has closed its L.A. location at least one day this week, posted on Instagram: “The fires raging across Los Angeles are impacting our clients, our industry, our colleagues, friends, and families. IGI’s thoughts are with the entire L.A. community. We are grateful to all first responders, and we are praying for everyone’s safety.”
