When John and I opened JWR 31 years ago...

It was a fullfillment of John's dream to own his own jewelry store. It has been a honor to carry on John's dream for the past 10 years. 

As we approach the turn of the year, it is with a heart full of mixed emotions that I announce my upcoming retirement and the closure of JWR Jewelers on February 14th, 2025.

For the past 31 years, your support has been the cornerstone of our success and has allowed us to be a part of your most cherished moments. From engagements and anniversaries to birthdays and just-because treats, it has been our honor to help you celebrate these special occasions.

JWR Jewelers was born from John Reed’s dream to create a space where the Athens community could find both quality and comfort in their jewelry selections. Thanks to you, that dream was not only realized but flourished. Your trust and loyalty have been the lifeblood of our store, and for that, we are eternally grateful.

As we prepare to close our doors, we reflect on the joy of serving you and the deep relationships we have built over the years. We are excited to invite you to our Retirement Sale starting Tuesday, November 12th, where you can take advantage of discounts on all pieces in our store. This is a chance to own a piece of our legacy and make more memories that will last a lifetime.

Please visit us to celebrate the legacy of JWR Jewelers and enjoy significant savings as our way of saying thank you. Until then, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us live out John’s legacy and for being an integral part of our store's family.

Warmest regards,

Patti Reed
Owner, JWR Jewelers
