Robbins Brothers Opens in Downtown Pasadena at The Swig Company’s 587 East Colorado Boulevard
October 30, 2025
The Swig Company is proud to announce that Robbins Brothers Fine Jewelers has officially opened its new Pasadena store at 587 East Colorado Boulevard (part of The Swig Company’s 595 East Colorado mixed-use building), bringing renewed energy and craftsmanship to one of the city’s most architecturally significant landmarks.
The new 8,000 square foot showcase store now serves as a prototype store for Robbins Brothers. With its soaring coffered ceilings, original chandeliers, and historic murals, 587 East Colorado provides an elegant setting for the brand’s reimagined in-store experience. The space features several private diamond viewing rooms, a master jeweler offering in-house repairs and customizations, and a comfortable hospitality lounge designed for a personalized and welcoming experience.
Robbins Brothers began with a single jewelry store in Seattle, WA, in 1921. In the 1950s, the family business moved to Pasadena, California, and today, the company operates 14 stores in four states: Arizona, California, Texas, and Washington.
“The Swig Company welcomes Robbins Brothers back to Pasadena and wishes them much success in their new home at 587 East Colorado,” said Mei Chou, Senior Vice President, Asset Management for The Swig Company.
Built in 1928, 595 East Colorado Blvd. is a distinguished Beaux Arts-inspired LEED Gold and WELL Certified office building and a registered historic landmark in Pasadena’s Playhouse District. The first floor was formerly home to a well-known bank branch and retains its original grandeur.
Situated in the heart of Pasadena, the building offers convenient access to the 134 and 210 freeways and is just blocks from the Metro Gold Line, providing direct connectivity to downtown Los Angeles. Surrounded by popular restaurants and modern tenant amenities, this historic property seamlessly blends architectural elegance with contemporary urban convenience.
