My name is Bob Barnes.
   

    I have been involved in the jewelry industry over 50 years. I have owned and operated jewelry stores in Bridgeport, Fairfield, and Stamford Connecticut until my retirement in 2005.

    I am a decorated U.S. Army veteran, having served in Vietnam (1966-1967) and am a graduate of the University of Buffalo (1968) and have attended MBA curriculum at both Fordham and Southern Connecticut Universities (1973-1974, & 2005).

   Currently I supervise jewelry store promotional sales events such as anniversaries, liquidations, bankruptcies, and going out of business.  I represent one of the oldest jewelry store liquidation firms in the United States and have travelled extensively and internationally assisting in such sales.

   During these sales events I help store owners with inventory control, advertising, personnel, and selling in order to  maximize cash revenues and reduce excess inventory. 

I also purchase Gold, Silver, and Diamonds, and help with the profitable disposal of Family Heirlooms.
