On a recent visit to La Jolla my husband and I had the pleasure to meet Victor and Jerry Garcia of the Carlton Gallery. We found this to be a wonderful experience! We are looking forward to doing future business with these well-informed and very nice brothers. Shopping there was both fun and enlightening! We feel that our recent purchase was a very fair price and we are most happy with the service that Jerry and Victor provided. Mike and Pat Morger, Cincinnati, Ohio

During a recent visit to LaJolla, my friend and I decided to venture into Carlton Gallery. We stayed for quite a while, and returned a few more times during the week we stayed in the area. Here's why: the owners, Norman and Victor, were gracious, entertaining, and completely charming; we were made to feel welcome and at ease; the items found in the shop range from gorgeous antiques and estate jewelry to fine jewelry; negotiating the purchase price of an item was fun; and finally, but certainly most important, the quality of the items completely warranted the final price negotiated. There are so many beautiful things, that making a decision is very difficult. We can't wait to return to LaJolla so that we can visit again!
