We're older than we look! π π€«
In celebration of our 80th Anniversary, we wanted to share a few tidbits of our store's history through 3 generations.
Gordon Jewelers was started in Kansas City by Edward and Maxine Gordon. Edward was a WW2 watchmaker, and Maxine was a hand engraver. Both were jewelry professionals in their own right, and after they were married, they decided to open a store together. The rest is history!
