The Jewelry Station opened for business May 1st, 2004. However, the owners, Franny and Andy Gelman are not new to the jewelry business. They began working together at a retail jewelry store shortly after their marriage in 1972. Andy then became a jewelry manufacturer’s representative in 1978 and in 1985 landed an executive sales position for the one of the world’s largest wedding jewelry companies. Chicago natives, the Gelmans made numerous visits to Key West during the 80’s and 90’s and became enchanted with the vibrant island atmosphere, charming local population and incredible natural beauty. Envisioning opportunities presented by the lucrative tourist economy and tired of the corporate routine, they moved to the Keys in 2000. They found a small store front location in Old Town Key West and opened a jewelry shop. The Jewelry Station moved to their new flagship store at 626 Duval St., in Oct. 2005 (right before Wilma). Here’s what makes us special:
1) Nearly 30 years of jewelry experience enabled the Jewelry Station to establish strong trading partnerships with some of the largest jewelry suppliers in the world. Today we have the exclusive in Key West for 15 national brands.
2) We built a destination wedding jewelry center with the largest selection of designer diamond engagement rings and commitment bands on the island plus an exclusive collection of limited edition designer brands you won't find anywhere else in Key West.
3) Our 626 Duval location provides an intimate shopping experience, convenient parking and is open 7 days a week carries 15 exclusive national brands found nowhere else in Key West. You’ll find a friendly, knowledgeable sales staff along with the guaranteed satisfaction that only an independent jeweler can provide. You’ll deal direct with the owners and enjoy the savings passed on by our ability to eliminate the middlemen between you and the prime source manufacturers.
