Celebrating 100 Years at Fellin's

Travel back in time with us to 1922, when John and Mary Fellin opened the doors to a new store in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. Specializing in fine jewelry, they recognized the importance of serving their customers with excellent style and craftsmanship.

They joined the newly-established American Gem Society in 1936. The society is dedicated to education and the highest ethical and professional standards among jewelers. Over 80 years later, Fellin’s Jewelers’ AGS affiliation remains unbroken.

In the 1950’s, daughter, Celeste and her husband, Edward Kosko, took the helm from John & Mary. Under their guidance, many new lines of precious gemstone jewelry and fine giftware, such as Waterford Crystal, were added to an already impressive selection.

Celeste and Ed began an extensive expansion and restoration of their historic center-city location in 1984. They carefully oversaw the preservation of design elements from what was the Lyric Theatre (c. 1900) uncovered during the course of renovation. When the project was completed, Fellin’s elegant display space had doubled.

In the mid-1980’s, following in their late father’s footsteps, Mary Celeste and Andrea Kosko, joined their mother, Celeste, as partners in their well-known and highly regarded business. Recognized by the American Gem Society as a Registered Jeweler, Mary Celeste Kosko proudly continues her grandfather’s and father’s dedication to excellent quality, service, style and value.

Fellin's Jewelers is now celebrating their 100th year in business. They are proud to be a third-gereration, family-owned retail jeweler with a tradition of exceptional quality & personal service. In addition to a beautiful array of fine jewelry, Fellin's also offers appraisals, custom jewelry creation, jewelry repair and watch repair.
