Lowe’s Jewelers, which has been serving the jewelry needs of the Mandeville area for over twenty-eight years, traces its roots back to a teenage part-time job. Brian Lowe, now a certified gemologist, was sixteen when he worked in the back of a jewelry store engraving trophies. In time, this part-time job would plant the seed that would grow into a family-owned and very successful jewelry business. Lowe’s Jewelers first set up shop in the back of the Audubon Shopping Center on Highway 22. Brian, and his late brother Brett Lowe, only had $50,000 to put toward their inventory. Twenty-eight years ago, that would not buy a lot. Regardless, these determined brothers these determined brothers purchased what they could and purchased what they could and pressed on with their dream. pressed on with their dream. About their eventual success, Brian intimates, “It’s a great feeling, but [we] couldn’t do it without the support of the people around us, this community, our family, loyal customers, and new ones.” Being active in their community is vital to the Lowe Family.
