ewelry is so much more than something beautiful to wear. It has a history, a story behind it that we carry each time we wear it, adding to that story as we make our own.
Family owned and operated since our beginning in March 1976, we at Louis Martin Jewelers believe in the importance of tradition and heritage. In addition to our already existing collection of fine jewelry, we boast a unique collection of antique and vintage jewelry and watches. One piece takes you back to the bold lines and luxury of the Art Deco, another to the inspiring nature of the Art Nouveau era. Others play with the intrigue and romance inspiring Victorian and Edwardian designs. Unique and one of a kind, antique and vintage pieces are the perfect way to share a little bit of the past as you celebrate your present and envision your future.
