Established in 1964, we have dedicated ourselves to serving the Mendham community with exceptional jewelry craftsmanship and personalized service.

Our team of skilled artisans creates many of the pieces in our store, specializing in one-of-a-kind designs using both precious and semi-precious stones. With over 35 years of continuous service, we maintain our position as the area's premier jeweler through commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and innovation in jewelry design.Our certified gemologist provides professional appraisals, while our on-site repair services ensure comprehensive care for all jewelry and timepieces. We pride ourselves on combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, including CAD design for custom creations. Our inventory features over 20,000 diamonds and an extensive collection of engagement rings, bands, and designer jewelry.
