Seeking more freedom and control of her work, Debra partnered with Earl Allen and opened 1700 Ocean on November 1, 2004. It is a unique place to shop at the beach. It is located in the lobby of the Loew's Santa Beach Hotel.

As customers from around the world enter the store, the are pleasantly surprised to find a very relaxed and different kind of "hotel" jewelry store. As one customer from New York said, "...I live in Manhattan, and we don't have anything this cool and fun.."

It is the only store in Southern California where you can see Debra's complete design collection, as well as other chosen artists from around the world.

With over forty five years combined jewelry experience neither Debra and Earl wanted to have a shop where "selling shiny rocks" was not the highlight of the day. There are 28,600 places where you can do that in America. "We just choose to present our designs in a different light, that is jewelry with heart and soul.

We are a part of and strongly believe in Fair Trade Gems. That our products are brought to market in an ecological, economical and humanitarian visible supply chain. That it does matter that you give back and help people who maybe didn't get to have the chances and opportunities that we have been blessed with.

In the near future we will introduce our new collection called Significant Jewels™, it truly will be jewelry with heart and soul.

Until then please feel free to browse and shop. As our current customers know we do many one of a kinds. Please email or call us and we will email you photos of what is new, cool and fun. Thanks for your continued support and business, we appreciate so much.

Peace to you all!

Debra Savage & Earl Allen
