March Business Mixer at Mardo K Fine Jewelry

Please join us for our March mixer right in the heart of Montrose at Mardo K Fine Jewelry. If you haven’t shopped in Montrose for jewelry then you are missing out. I think you will be surprised at what you will find here when you take the time to look. What makes Montrose so special is that we have stores that are locally owned and operated. At these locally owned stores, no matter what service or product they sell you will have help in finding exactly what you are looking for with that personal touch you won’t find at a mall or chain store. And the host of our mixer is a perfect example.

Mardo K Fine Jewelry is a family owned and operated, full service jewelry boutique with more than 40 years of experience in the jewelry industry. They carry one of the widest collections of engagement rings and fine jewelry, and offer in-house repair, jewelry design and timepiece services. From an early age, owner Mardo Kiladjian quickly learned the family business of precious metals, gemstones and design from the experience of his father, Jerry Kiladjian, CEO and designer of Supreme Jewelry. Mardo spent his summers working for Supreme Jewelry and, with the help of his father’s extensive knowledge and background and Mardo’s innate business sense and persistent desire, he quickly learned the craft of casting, metal fabrication and soldering, while also finding a passion for design and a genuine appreciation for fine jewelry and gemstones. After graduating from GIA in 2010, Mardo expanded his knowledge and experience by managing a jewelry retail store in Provo, Utah attending numerous buying trips and leading many trunk shows for Supreme Jewelry. In 2012, Mardo immersed himself in Supreme Jewelry’s business by designing jewelry for the award-winning brand. Mardo also helps lead Supreme Jewelry with his current role as VP of Sales and Special Events. Then on Aug. 19, 2013 Mardo K Fine Jewelry opened its doors in Montrose. Mardo K is proud of its legacy of superior service, master craftsmanship and, above all, its tradition of integrity.
