Medawar Fine Jewelers, in Palos Verdes, CA, is well known to the Peninsula Community through the famous Talking Clock it donated, its excellent in-house jewelry, clock and watch repair services, and of course, for it’s fantastic offering of fine jewelry.

Every year, they open their doors to the community to host a Holiday Open House. It’s a very fun event where the whole family joins in to have fun and catch up on old times with the customers. It’s also an excellent opportunity to come in to the relaxed atmosphere, and look at Pandora bracelets, Rolex Watches, and literally hundreds of other gift ideas, from jewelry and watches, to knives and jewelry cleaners.

Medawar has taken this opportunity to significantly upgrade their web site from a half-dozen pages to nearly a hundred pages with links to all of the manufacturers offerings they sell. This makes it easy for guests to the site and their regular customers to peruse what they have on offer before they come in.

Also in the upgraded site are details about the history of the Store, the Medawar Knowledge Center where you can learn all about jewelry, and details about their custom service center, where they create from scratch and repair jewelry, repair clocks and watches, all in-house.

If you’re puzzled as to what to get that special someone, Medawar has a very good answer – in fact, the best answer money can buy!

The new school, “Where Children Reign Supreme”, focuses on creative energy and giving children a place to grow and thrive, already has a waiting list.

Congratulations to Helena Smith and the whole Greater Hope gang! Opening Day is just around the corner!

The granddaughter of a traditional Chinese doctor, whose specialty was herbal medicine, Suli first caught the inspiration to become a chemist from observing her grandfather’s work. She, too, decided to explore the essence found in herbs and plants not normally associated with western medicine.

Suli studied chemistry and graduated with honors. For years she researched the Chinese herbal cures her grandfather had taught her and put them to rigid scientific tests. The result was that many of these plant and herbal extracts widely used in Asia proved to be highly effective. When Suli began noticing problems in her own skin, such as drying, premature wrinkling and breaking out, due to stress and change in environment, she surveyed the range of skin care products available to her. With the eye of a scientist, she found that the cosmetics available worked on a poor scientific principle: “fixing the symptom” instead of curing the root cause.

Suli, as a chemist, sought for the first time to recreate the optimum environment for the skin, based on the knowledge that the skin, just like the body’s immune system, seeks to heal and protect itself. She knew that if the right environment could be recreated, the complexion should automatically revert to that of younger skin, or as close to it as possible. This was an impressive order to fill, but she achieved this result by combining just the right mixture of natural skin emollients, DNA, RNA, herbal extracts, amino acids, proteins, and balancing them all to a proper pH level, to recreate, as accurately as possible, that optimum environment for the skin. It was a goal to which Suli dedicated herself, and achieved, using strict modern scientific techniques, as well as proven aspects of Chinese herbal knowledge.
