Ray Crinzi Jewelry

For over 70 years, Ray Crinzi and family have been an indispensable part of the jewelry landscape in Western New York. Our legacy began with Alex Crinzi, Ray's father, who honed his craft in his native Italy before bringing his artistry to Buffalo in 1925. After two decades of refining his skills working for others, Alex embarked on his own entrepreneurial journey in 1945, opening a jewelry shop on Grant Street in Buffalo. In his workshop, Alex mentored his sons, Ray and John, passing down the essential knowledge and passion that would shape their future.

After Alex's retirement, Ray and John carried on the family tradition, successfully operating the jewelry business until 2009. But their story wasn't over. Ray, driven by his love for the craft, opened a gold buying store in Hamburg, New York, a venture that blossomed into a thriving fine jewelry store. Recognizing the ever-growing interest in the family business, Ray's daughter Lynette and grandson, Michael, stepped forward, eager to learn the trade. And so, the cycle continued, with Ray taking on the role of mentor once again, ensuring that the family legacy would endure. Today, our commitment to quality, personalized service, and timeless craftsmanship remains unwavering.
