Lucy closes, Pampillonia Jewelers to open at Bethesda Row (Photos)

Lucy Activewear has cleared out of its store at 7112 Bethesda Lane. As I previously reported, all Lucy stores nationwide will be closing by the end of 2017. However, the company says their Rockville store at Congressional Plaza hasn't closed yet, and is directing their Bethesda customers there.

Replacing Lucy will be Pampillonia Jewelers, which currently has a store in Mazza Gallerie. Pampillonia is a family company spanning six generations. Before establishing their reputation in the D.C. area, they gained fame as the personal jeweler to King Victor Emmanuel of Italy.

Pampillonia creates and custom-designs jewelry, and also will buy yours. without an appointment. I've been hearing of a possibility that Lucy's next-door neighbor Morley might slide down to the Lucy space, with Pampillonia moving into their current spot.
