Owned and operated by Ron Cohen, Zia is in the Capistrano Plaza shopping mall. It is right across the street from the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano, so it gets a lot of tourist foot traffic. It's also one block from the train station. Since 1977, Cohen has been offering Southern California unique artistic designs in his jewelry. Zia is known for its high-quality jewelry at affordable, tourist-friendly prices. It stocks jewelry for both men and women and all merchandise consists of one-of-a-kind pieces. There is also a small selection of hand-made ladies' handbags. Zia also has an online store on its website where shoppers can see the always-changing collection of items for sale.
