Due to unforeseen circumstances Bella Rosa Jewelers in Santa Barbara has announced it will close its doors to the public Dec. 28.

After 18 years of serving the community from its State Street location, the family-owned jewelry store, a purveyor of fine antique and estate jewelry, has been ordered to liquidate its $5 million inventory of diamonds, gemstones and jewelry.

All artwork, fixtures, equipment and showcases to be sold. Upon closure Bella Rosa Jewelers will operate by appointment.

“This marks the end of a meaningful chapter for our family business, and we are grateful for the community’s support over the years,” said a representative for Bella Rosa Jewelers. “We are excited to offer our customers these final weeks to visit us before we close our doors.”
