Does that title make you a little curious? After all, what does “crossing the river “ have to do with buying or sell­ing jewelry? Surprisingly, we, hear at times “I’m not going all the way to Philadelphia to buy jewelry, sell jewelry or get my jewelry repaired because it’s too far. I can just go to my local jew­eler for that.” Too far? A drive to the city from Atlantic City would take you approximately 50 minutes. That’s not far at all! Once you “cross the river” into Philadelphia, you are literally 2 minutes from historic Jewelers Row. In this article, we are going to outline the reasons why you should come here for your next jewelry purchase.

When you arrive at Jewelers Row, you will be right in the middle of the historic area of Center City Philadelphia. Jewelers Row is historic in itself. It is the oldest jewelry district in the country, established in 1851. The center of the jewelry district is Sansom Street, which is a beau­tiful brick paved street lined with dozens of jewelry stores. This is the location of our store. You’re sure to find that special piece you are looking for here. The lat­est in jewelry trends, selections of beautiful sterling silver, gold and platinum jewelry, the largest selection of loose diamonds and colored stones in the area and the most skilled jewelry craftsmen in the trade can all be found on Jewelers Row.

You will also find that the best buys are here. You can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars on a comparable piece of jewelry elsewhere. That’s not a bad return on a 50 minute drive! How about if you’re looking for a certain size or shape diamond of high quality? We can show you dozens of diamonds in the size, shape and quality that you’re looking for on the spot! Many clients comment on how great the selection of diamonds are in our store and while they were shopping at jewelers closer to home, they were lucky if they had 1 or 2 of the size and shape diamond that they wanted in stock! Most of these jewelers will set up an appointment for you to come back so they can get more diamonds for you and guess where they go to get your dia­monds? Jewelers Row!

If you need to sell an item, have a piece of jewelry repaired or are looking to have an item appraised, again you will find true jewelry professionals in our store, and we are one 1 of 100 others. Jewelers Row is so well known that people come from D.C., Virginia, even North Carolina to buy jewelry here because there is nothing like it where they live. So being that you’re less than an hour away, why not “cross the river” and check us out. There is parking right on the street, and several parking garages are all right with­in Jewelers Row. Safety is a main priority here as well. Sansom Street is probably the safest street in the city, with a large police presence 24 hours a day, so you will feel safe and comfortable while shopping here.

There is also the historic dis­trict with 2 blocks of Sansom Street, where you can visit Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and the Constitution Center, so you can do some sightseeing while your jewelry is repaired or your purchase is being assembled. There are also great restaurants less than 2 blocks away with just about every type of food imagin­able.
