Revive Medical Spa: Where Beauty Meets Medicine. At Revive Medical Spa, aesthetics is more than treating individual lines – it’s about creating balance, restoring what changes with age, and helping patients look refreshed while still looking like themselves. Led by Dr. Catherine Williams, RevIVe combines advanced aesthetic medicine with a highly personalized, physician-led approach. RevIVe specializes in facial balancing and full-face rejuvenation, using treatments such as dermal fillers, biostimulators, neurotoxins, medical-grade skincare, facials, and regenerative treatments to create natural, harmonious results. For patients who experience anxiety or discomfort with aesthetic procedures, RevIVe also offers sedation options for select treatments, creating a uniquely comfortable experience. Beyond aesthetics, RevIVe provides hormone optimization, medical weight management, and age-management solutions, allowing patients to address both how they look and how they feel. At RevIVe, the goal is simple: natural results, individualized care, and beauty elevated through medicine. RC26WU

From our family to yours, thank you, Tampa Bay, for choosing The Silver Queen and Belleair Coins once again.
RC26
For more than 50 years, The Silver Queen and Belleair Coins have been a Tampa Bay family tradition. We are incredibly honored to be voted Best Jewelry Store for the third year in a row and Best Antique Store for the second year in a row. To everyone who voted for us – thank you! Our story began in 1973, when retired U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant M.B. “Art” Arbutine opened Belleair Coins in a small, 800-square-foot shop in Belleair Bluffs. In 1979, his wife, Patricia “Pat” Arbutine, founded The Silver Queen, expanding the family business into sterling silver, jewelry, antiques, china, crystal and fine gifts. More than five decades later, the Arbutine family continues Art and Pat’s legacy. Today, our Largo store is filled with everything from fine and estate jewelry to rare sterling silver, antiques, coins, bullion, collectibles and unique treasures you simply don’t find everywhere else. We are also one of the area’s largest buyers. We buy gold and silver jewelry, diamonds, sterling silver flatware and hollowware, coins, gold and silver bullion, watches, antiques, collectibles and more. Whether you are selling one piece or an entire estate, you’ll receive the same honest, straightforward service. Through all the changes and growth, our philosophy has remained the same: Honesty, Integrity & Reliability.
