Normal Life During A Pandemic: Fred Meyer Jewelers



Justina Lund (27) helps Albany native Douglas Beam (71) pick out a new wedding set for his wife on October 27 at Fred Meyer Jewelers in Albany. Beam explains, "I was looking at her hand noticing her original set, and after all these years, I figured it was time to get her the diamond she deserves." Fred Meyer Jewelers is located inside the Fred Meyer store off of Santiam Highway. 



Goldsmith's Vu Nguyen (54) pictured left, and Michael Nguyen (23) pictured right, have a combined experience of 30 years in the business. Primarily, this father son duo repair, refurbish, and create one of a kind fine jewelry pieces. Vu inspects all the work he does carefully through the microscope before customers pick it up at Fred Meyer Jewelers on October 27, and son Michael watches his process and expertise. These goldsmiths now work off-site due to social distancing compliance, but come in three days a week to pick up repairs and drop off completed work. 




Goldsmith Vu Nguyen (54) looking through the scope at his next repair subject on October 27, making sure he knows exactly what he will need in order to complete the repair. If additional repair is needed that a sales professional did not discuss with the customer, the customer is notified at this point,  before he takes it in and starts the repair process. Vu has spent 23 years practicing and perfecting his art.
