With Mother's Day and wedding anniversaries coming up for many of us, we wanted to feature local jeweler Albriton's in today's post. Albriton's carries a wide variety of fine jewelry designers and you are certain to find something incredibly special with the help of their wonderful staff. Keep reading for more on the story of Albriton's, Mississippi's Foremost Diamond Merchant.
A simple, but ambitious retail dream led John Leslie Albriton, Sr. to open Albriton’s Jewelry in 1920. This dream, to provide the highest quality merchandise backed by impeccable customer service, has been a reality for Albriton’s Jewelry for almost 100 years.
A World War I veteran, John Leslie Albriton, Sr., faced the uncertainty of a looming economic crisis and eventual Great Depression, but remained undaunted in the pursuit of his ream. The former master watchmaker for Webb C. Ball Watch Company of Cleveland, Ohio drew from his rich background of experience in the industry to navigate his fledgling store through those troubling times. His keen business acumen and unparalleled attention to customer details helped forge a reputation for excellence that soon spread throughout the southeast. Coupled with an improving United States economy and new found brand awareness, Albriton’s rapidly became one of the most trusted names for quality jewelry and service. His belief that every selection should be reflective of its value and investment became Albriton’s business mission. The original Albriton’s was located on Capitol Street in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi’s state capitol. Through controlled and managed growth, the business continued its expansion and added more vendors to an already impressive product line. Three separate relocations and yielded the modern showroom in Highland Village of Northeast Jackson. In 1947, John Jr. assumed control of business operations. That mantle was shared with John III in 1974, and today Cameron continues the rich Albriton’s tradition.

As the jewelry industry is constantly evolving, so is Albriton’s. New technology, trends, and up and coming designers keep it exciting! “We love jewelry and always try to stay open and up to date with what is going on in the jewelry world,” smiles Cameron. “We are thrilled to welcome a new bridal line to our store, Verragio, and a new watch line, Omega,” says Cameron. “Verragio offers brides endless possibilities in customization. Each ring is made exactly for the person wearing it. Omega, founded in 1903, has stood the test of time with classic style and innovation. They have been word by presidents and kings, astronauts and spies, movie stars and you.”
As part of the ever evolving industry and staying up-to-date with changing times, Albriton’s relocated in March to a more modern and larger showroom across the street from its previous location in Highland Village in Northeast Jackson. “We are excited about having more visibility with a free standing building and having state of the art showcases, lighting, and store design in our new location,” says John Albriton Jr. “We are committed to the city of Jackson and staying here to continue serve our customers is important to us.”
