Chuc Nguyen and Ong Vu, the dedicated owners of Van Tin Jewelry, have announced their decision to close their beloved family business after decades of service along Northeast Sandy Boulevard. The couple, who have been crafting and selling jewelry for 40 years, expressed a mix of nostalgia and relief as they prepare to transition into a new chapter of their lives.

Nguyen and Vu have built a reputation in the community for their exquisite craftsmanship and personalized service.
