By LORENA BENIQUEZ lbeniquez@sungazette.com

Since Elmer Kinley opened the doors to Kinley Jewelers in 1948, the Williamsport store continues to be a family run business 75 years later.

Located at 131 W. Fourth St., the store offers a sumptuous array of jewelry and gifts.

“We have one of the largest inventories,” said Jade Kinley, adding that includes everything from necklaces, rings, bracelets and watches.

As for the stones that adorn their pieces, the store offers natural and lab grown gems. In addition to jewelry, the store also sells chandeliers, crystal, purses, clocks and much more.

And if they don’t already have a specific item in their inventory,

Kinley Jewelers will craft a custom jewelry piece.

“We can make what you need come true,” said Debbie Kinley, The jewelry store is now creating a database that will store customers’ wish lists.

“We will have the top ten items on file,” said Jade.

In addition to jewelry sales, the store repairs watches, jewelry and grandfather clocks. Their excellent customer service provides home visits for grandfather clocks, since they are often too large to move. Jade said there are three big jewelry trends they are seeing right now.

“Pearls are coming back for younger people and they are worn casually,” she said.

In addition, she says that pre-owned Rolexes and other high end watches have been selling briskly. And lastly, stackable rings continue to be on trend.

Jade said, “You can stack up bands in fun ways using your current wedding band.”
