The store will also showcase brand name fine jewelry such as A. Jaffe, Mikimoto, Ritani, Norman Silverman, Roberto Coin, Penny Preville, Lorenzo, Chad Allison and Memoire. Consistent with its heritage, all merchandise is created with high quality diamonds, gemstones, and precious metals, focusing on expert craftsmanship.

The General Manager of the new Stoneridge location, Doug Cline, is pleased to bring the new Bailey Banks & Biddle to the Pleasanton area. “We’re very excited to bring Bailey’s fine quality jewelry and engagement rings to the Pleasanton community.  It’s great to be the newest store in Stoneridge Mall, the premier retail location of the East Bay area.
