In 1949 Howard and Vivian Barnes, a year after starting their lives together, opened Conyers Jewelers. Mr. Barnes, a trained watchmaker, ran the store along with his mother, Mrs. Ruby Thompson Barnes. Mrs. Vivian Barnes worked in At-lanta until 1967 when she joined Howard in the daily running of the store. In 1990 their granddaughter Teri Tidwell-Stanley, a trained gemologist and jeweler, joined the team. Today this store is the oldest continu-ous business in the City of Conyers.
Over the past 66 years, they have satis-fied their customer’s fashion requirements; from engagement rings and wedding sets to diamonds, pendants, earrings, even cus-tom jewelry upon request. The store also carries a wide variety of Pandora charms, Endless Jewelry, Elle & Frederick Docious, Sterling Jewelry for Women & Children, Bulova watches, large variety of Pearls, Freshwater and Tahitian and other sterling silver jewelry. They are known for their on-site jewelry repair and other services such as ear piercing for babies, teens, and adults as well as insurance appraisals. Drop by and visit them Monday through Saturday for all of your jewelry needs. You will always get a friendly smile when you enter.
