Founder & Owner
Alan Lemmerman
Meet Our Founder
45+ Years as Orange County's
Premier Independent Jeweler
Alan Lemmerman, the owner and founder of Nathan Alan Jewelers, spent over 45 years as the only independent jeweler in South Coast Plaza. Alan's journey began in 1980 with the opening of Chain Reaction, a jewelry store specializing in high quality Italian 14 karat and 18 karat gold chains, earrings, pendants, charms and rings, the first store of its kind in the country. Four years later, the name was changed to Nathan Alan Jewelers and the specialty became diamond and gemstone fine jewelry, particularly diamond engagement rings and wedding bands.
Today, Alan continues that same dedication by private appointment in Newport Beach, offering exceptional design, impeccable quality, excellent value and outstanding customer service. Alan is devoted to giving clients the information they need to make confident decisions. We have established a strong reputation in Orange County and beyond, with many of our custom designs coming from client referrals. We search exclusively for the most beautiful GIA certified diamonds and gemstones, all ethically sourced, because achieving that "Wow!" moment for every client is the ultimate goal.
