Marilu Klar Celebrates 50 Years at Gump’s

Marilu Klar is celebrating 50 years with Gump’s, the iconic San Francisco retailer.

Industry representatives, colleagues and friends gathered to honor Marilu Klar on July
12 with a dinner in the store that remains her base of operations after a  half-century.

Klar has lectured around the country on the collections of jade and pearls that she
has created for Gump’s. A familiar presence in the world’s markets, she has a
well-earned reputation for sourcing gemstones that meet the highest standards
of quality and beauty. In addition to jade and pearls, she has made Gump’s a
destination for collectors of coral, lapis lazuli, and turquoise jewelry.
