Jewelry Store Opens Flagship Location In Danville Tuesday

DANVILLE, CA — “Hope” is the one-word answer that Gaby Ghorbani gave when asked why she wanted to open a brick-and-mortar retail store during a pandemic.

“When everybody’s trying to get out of retail, my hope in the community, and my hope in knowing they want to support a business,” Ghorbani told Patch. On Tuesday, she will open the first physical location of her online jewelry, gifts, and accessories business, Love You More.

Starting at 11 a.m., the store will host a grand opening at 175 E. Prospect Avenue in Danville, right next to Danville Chocolates. Light refreshments will be served.

The name “Love You More,” which is included in much of the jewelry, explains the business’s ethos of positivity and giving back to the community. Most of the products are made fair trade by single mothers in Mexico, and Ghorbani gives back as much as a quarter of the proceeds to local charities, including Benioff Children’s Hospital.

“It’s about loving more, not just loving but loving others more, and that’s how we can change,” she said. “I believe especially in this day and age to loving yourself more, because that way we can really give the best of ourselves, by taking care of ourselves.”

On that same vein, Ghorbani also founded the nonprofit Pledge to Humanity, which empowers local children and teens to give back to the community.

Ghorbani founded Love You More online about four years ago. Its jewelry and accessories have been featured in Vogue, Forbes, Inc., Glamour, Nordstrom, and more.
