It's in the genes at Carl Greve




Alice Wheeler Greve was a local Portland author back in the 1940's. She also happened to be Carl Greve's wife. That means that she was Karl (not a typo, he spelled his name with a 'K') Greve Jr.'s mother, and Carl "Nick" Greve III's grandmother, and Carl "Tim" Greve IV's great-grandmother. She encouraged Carl Greve to pursue his dream of being a jeweler, just as she had pursued her dream of being an author of two novels, "Shadow On The Plains" and "From Out This House". In fact, she even dedicated them to him.


This is what Tim Greve explained to his 10-year-old daughter this past week at the YPO's father daughter getaway, when he presented her with signed copies of each book. The point was to let her know that she can be anything she wants to be when she grows up, whether it is to be a world class jeweler, or an author...


it's in the genes after all.



Welcome to Musings at Carl Greve!


We are pleased to present Carl Greve's new blog, Musings at Carl Greve. We used to have a Carl Greve magazine, ACCENT, but decided it was time to embrace our Portland "green" roots and evolve into an electronic format. So, www.carlgreve.blogspot.com was born.

This is the place to turn for frequent updates about our newest designers, collections, obsessions, events, style profiles, and well... just about all things Carl Greve.

Plus, we want to hear the stories about how Carl Greve has participated in your memorable life's events. Whether one of our engagement rings made that proposal extra special, or you surprised your Dad with one of our timepieces at his retirement party, we want to hear from you. So, please send us your stories and photos.

Tell us about the time that you gave your wife three Aaron Basha baby shoe charms when she delivered triplets in record time. Explain the incident between the garbage disposal and your wedding band that we helped you repair. Talk about the time that you went to one of our events and walked away with a new Harry Winston timepiece AND a new boat. We want to hear it all!

Please send your stories, submissions, photos, questions and comments to Musings@carlgreve.com and visit our website, www.carlgreve.com to learn more about our stores.
