Your Hometown Jewelry Experts Since 1972
Greene Jewelers has been the trusted hometown jeweler of Westmoreland County since 1972. Founded by John H. Greene and his wife Twila in their Armbrust home basement, our business was built on decades of expertise in precision timepiece repair and a deep commitment to quality. John's experience as a master watchmaker, developed through formal training in Pittsburgh and hands-on work at Howard Jewelers, established our reputation for repairing intricate German and French watches. This legacy expanded when John became one of the first local experts to master repairs for Bulova's groundbreaking Accutron watches.Under Clara Ann Robare's leadership since 2006, we continue honoring our founders' values while maintaining our focus on American-made products. Our jewelry repair services reflect the same care and respect as if working on family heirlooms, recognizing the sentimental value these items hold for our customers. We offer exquisite diamonds, fine jewelry, and personalized timepieces, specializing in scripture-based designs and luxury watches. Our three expansions from the original garage space demonstrate steady growth driven by customer trust and our unwavering dedication to quality craftsmanship.
