Ursa’s Fine Jewelry – A jewelry store on the Lower East Side where Jerald Reinhold sold some of his parents’ jewelry - their watches and his mother’s pearl necklace - after killing them in Thankless in Death. It was owned and run by Mr. Ursa, Mr. Ursa’s parents, his daughter, Naomi Ursa, and his son and daughter-in-law, has been in the family for three generations, and specializes in estate jewelry.[1] Eve suggested Roarke shop there if he was looking to buy her something shiny for Christmas, since "they’re nice people."[2]
For Christmas, Roarke gave her a comb: from its jewel-encrusted peak fell a rich medley of diamonds and rubies, which he assured her Trina would know how to work into her hair. Eve told him he always figured out other ways to hang shiny things on her, and enjoyed watching the way the stones danced. It was an early twentieth century wedding gift from groom to bride, but a few generations later the fortune was squandered and this was sold off in an estate sale. Mr. Ursa had it in his vault for a couple of years, waiting for the right person, which Eve was, and it complemented her holiday dress perfectly.
Eve also purchased one of Roarke’s Christmas gifts there - a small white petunia lapel pin made of mother-of-pearl and platinum, and held to the lapel with a little super magnet, so no pins or holes. They exchanged their gifts before their holiday party in Festive in Death.[3]
