Rickey C Tanno

It used to be… eesh, how many Cleveland stories could start like that? Anyway, once not too long ago at or near the corner of Ninth and Euclid you could find some of the finest jewelry stores in the world. A lot’s changed, of course. You can get a great meal from Zack Bruell at one of the former mainstays. Beattie’s breathed its last when Euclid Avenue was «revitalized.» … To my knowledge, all that’s left is Rivchun in the City Club building and the venerable Rickey Tanno.
So why the long lead in for a little review? These places are dying while you’re going to Jared and Kay. Indeed, that’s sad for the places that are closing and for our downtown, but more relevant to this review, that’s bad for you. Tanno provides incredible old-​school service and workmanship. I just had a stone replaced on a solitaire, and they listened to what I wanted, brought me some no-​pressure options, then delivered my ring back better than I could have imagined. As the Huntington Building empties out, I’m hoping Tanno is not another casualty. Next time you want a bauble, or if you’re shopping for something special, be sure to check out the last of the great jewelry houses downtown. Tanno is a jewel (insert groan).
