Stephanie Langlois carries an aura of gentle kindness as she discusses her years in the
jewelry business. Surely, her interior beauty is magnified by the sparkling diamonds, glimmer-ing pearls and glistening light bouncing off some of the magnificent gems carried inside her Time Wise Jewelry store. Surrounded by gold, silver, jewels, wrist watches and wall clocks, Langlois and five employees create a family-friendly environment where customers are known by their first name. In fact, for nearly four decades, Time Wise has made it their mission to run a store that exudes friendliness, patient service and honesty. Two short months ago, Langlois took over as owner of the well-known jewelry store after the former owners retired. But really, they merely transferred their legacy; a beacon of ‘people-over-business’ to Langlois’ capable hands. See, while everything changes in life, jewelry often remains the same- its unique design calling to mind a memory in life. It’s the jewelry or watch that allows a memory to be forever etched in time. One must only glance at the piece to remember that person, that moment or that love. Time Wise allows the journey of capturing expressions of ourselves within their lovely collection of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls and sapphires. Plus, they go beyond the norm by offering more unique stones such as spinel, apatite, indicolite, garnet, ametrine, and tsavorite. But while their selection of jewelry is distinctively notable, it’s their dedication to a legacy of authenticity that truly sets the bar.
“Passing the torch to Stephanie was an easy choice, one we made with complete confidence. Deciding to retire after 38 years was hard for us, we love the work we do and especially our customers. Knowing Stephanie will continue Time Wise with the same great customer service and quality work made it much easier. She has been our right hand for the last ten years and knows the jewelry business inside and out. We are excited to see the fresh new look and beauti-ful new pieces she brings in,” former owner Glen Blumenthal shared.
Indeed, it’s paramount to Langlois that custom-ers are ensured that the same respect and un-surpassed service long enjoyed at Time Wise will continue. “We’re still here and the service will be the same,” Langlois explained. “We truly feel like a family here and our customers mean everything to us. (So much so) that we often remember a customer’s ring size. We keep prices affordable by keeping the customer in mind and good business in mind.” Langlois knows the fun-damentals of the jewelry business. As Langloisrecalls her 13 years working in the jewelry busi-ness she remembers her beginning at Zales. She spent two years there and then moved on to a store that fixes watches. Soon later, fate lead her to work at Time Wise where she quickly moved up the ranks to top sales person. She spent ten years learning everything about the jewelry busi-ness under the leadership of the former owners. “The owners taught me everything I know.” And now for Langlois as owner, the business of jew-elry is only as important as the relationships she garners with those who love its splendor. Time Wise is known for designing jewelry (come with your imagination and let them create your mas-terpiece), one-of-a-kind pieces, Southwest Indi-an jewelry, estate, Victorian and modern jewelry. They can also color match stones and fix all your delicate pieces. “We like to supply jewelry you’re not going to find in another store. You won’t feel like someone else has your ring,” Langlois said. In fact, sixty percent of the jewelry in Time Wise is handmade exclusively for the store. Time Wise is known throughout Clairemont and beyond for bending over backward to service their cus-tomer. Case in point, they spend half their time fixing customer’s jewelry and watches.
“Time Wise is more interested in making their customers happy than in making a commission. Stephanie takes the time to treat my jewelry as if it was her own,” explained customer Trina Wil-liams. Certainly, Time Wise doesn’t require their employees reach a “monthly quota” lest they be terminated for not reaching their goal.
better than it did when it was brand new! His attention to de-tail is in a league of its own and so is Time Wise Jewelers! Their Team listened to my needs, exceeded my expectations with their unsurpassed attention to detail and I feel like they truly care about me! The very best experience I’ve ever had with a jeweler. Thank you Stephanie!”

As longtime customer Fred Hilgers confirms, “Time Wise is all about ‘customer service.’ Many places use this phrase as a slogan, but they don’t mean it. Time Wise does! It is their culture. They listen to your needs and guide you to what fits for you. They don’t “up sell you.” They have beautiful jewelry and watches that range in every price range. Their inventory is high quality and they really enjoy supporting their customer.”
In the world of jewelry, the customers are as unique as the jewelry they wear. Jewelry is worn across borders adorning all of humanity spanning the globe. Many people are found wearing something hat frequently signifies something of incredible meaning on the inside. Truly, jewelry is one of the only things we can wear all the time. It becomes an extension of ourselves. Long time Clairemont residents and customers of Time Wise, Kathy and Rich Cline found themselves in the store over three
“I wouldn’t trust just anyone with my custom estate wedding ring until I was referred to Time Wise Jewelers. My ring was in shambles when I dropped it off and I was nervous whether or not it would look the same as when i first received it. Mario, their fabulously talented Goldsmith replaced the missing diamonds and completely restored every prong on the band and it looks

Stephanie LangloisNew Owner of Time Wise
Now that we are officially retired and have turned over Time Wise to the very capable hands of Stephanie Langlois, we would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our community, not only supporting us for the last 38 years – but also for making our inventory reduction event such a smashing success.
We were frankly overwhelmed with the kind words and outpouring of support, and for that we are forever grateful.
Thank you also to the team at Local Um-brella Media for doing all you promised and more in promoting our inventory reduction sale. They feedback and re-sults far outweighed our expectations and the sale was a huge success.
We will truly miss seeing you, our neigh-bors and customers – but please do make sure to keep stopping and shopping as we’ve left the store in the hands of an out-standing team led by Stephanie.
With deep and sincere gratitude,
Glen and Linda Blumenthal
Thank You to our Clairemont,Bay Park, & Bay Ho Neighbors!
years ago to have a watch battery changed. That day, Kathy noticed a diamond estate ring that caught her eye and dazzled her dreams. Somehow even after she went home that evening, the ring beckoned her return. So, Kathy and Rich returned to the store a month later and realized they each wanted something special to commemorate their 50th wedding anniversary. “My husband had always wanted a gold ring with diamonds in it.” Langlois took special inter-est in the couple and suggested they do a layaway plan to pay for the rings. Months later, they picked up their rings and had them sized. “Stephanie took such good care of us. She made a dream come true for us and at our anniversary party we got to wear our jewelry.” They put on their rings in early July of 2016 with great pride. “You couldn’t have pried it off his finger,” Kathy remembered. But sadly, a few months later Rich died. The ring was on his finger. Kathy said he wore it every day. Such is the significance of jew-elry, and the family at Time Wise Jewelers.
Time Wise Jewelers is openTuesday-Friday 10-6 and Saturday 10-5
