Meet the Family

Nick Brown                          Steve Brown                      Jordan Brown

We are a family owned business and have been in the jewelry business since 1912 which started in Council Bluffs, Iowa as Brown's Loans where our family dealt in all sorts of objects of value. We decided in our business that our strongest passion and interest was for fine jewelry and concentrated our efforts in that market. In 2000, Steve established the business online on eBay as Once Upon A Diamond to sell from our collection and we opened the physical store in Shreveport, LA in 2008. Once Upon A Diamond was established to focus on fine estate jewelry, bridal jewelry, watches and high-end consignments. Thank you for taking the time to visit us.
