Sales Professional, The Shops at Hilltop • Virginia Beach, VA • (757) 640-1132 • Leanne.Webb@finks.com Leanne Webb celebrates 20 years of service here at Fink’s Jewelers this year! Over the years, she’s celebrated many milestones with clients, including engagements, anniversaries, and births. Now, we’re celebrating her!
I have been in the jewelery industry in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area for over 39 years. So, when it comes to picking out specific special moments with clients, it’s difficult. But, perhaps the most special part about working at Fink’s Jewelers for the past 20 years is that I’ve had the chance to sell engagement rings to clients, then to their children, and now, I’m selling to some of their grandchildren. The Design that Stands Out Recently, a gentleman whom I’ve known since before he could see over our jewelry cases, got engaged and wanted to create a special ring for his fiancé. He wanted to incorporate a diamond from his grandmother’s piece in the new design. We were also able to use the family diamonds to make a very special ring that he could give to his fiancé. Proud to Be a Part of Fink’s Fink’s is just a special place and a special family. To be a part of a fourth-generation jeweler that’s well respected in the community is something special. Working at Fink’s not only allows me to sell beautiful jewelry, but it also affords me the opportunity to get out and be involved in causes like supporting the Children’s Hospital of the King’s Daughters. A love for Italian I like my Italian men, so I really love Roberto Coin and Marco Bicego. I love yellow gold and all of its richness and warmth, and the Italians do it the best! Marco Bicego’s jewelery is all hand-made and has a softer finish to it, while Roberto Coin is more traditional, classic, and very distinctive. It’s All About Family I could talk about my daughter and my grandson for days. My daughter is a wonderful woman who teaches fifth grade and is extremely passionate about what she does. She’s given me the love of my life — My grandson, who is just brilliant and very sweet. He’s amazing to watch, and the way he thinks things through with such an imagination is fascinating! Something You Didn’t Know I paint. I do acrylic pouring, and I paint on glass — on glass ornaments and glass stemware. I also make ornaments every year for my co-workers and other special people in my life. A couple of my paintings are even featured here in the store. Painting is how I release stress and tension, and my home is filled with more than 100 of my original pieces. When I’m waiting for my paintings to dry, my husband and I play music. We have a band, and we used to go to different places around town and play in the bars.
