Iroff & Son Jewelers: A Brief History  With roots back to the 1940’s Iroff & Son Jewelers experience in the diamond and jewelry business spans three generations and over 70 years. The vision started with Bernard Abramson, a former U.S. Navy officer who found his way into the jewelry sales, introducing unique tactics to make his clients jewelry dreams come true. Encouraged and supported by Bernard, John Iroff also found his way into the industry, adopting his own vision for delivering premium jewelry to his customers.  Years later, John and his son, Brian, are carrying on the vision at Iroff & Son Jewelers. The family business now occupies their own space, offering an expanded inventory of diamonds and jewelry coupled with premium customer service in the Atlanta area. For the past 3 years, Iroff & Son Jewelers has been voted the Best Jewelry Store in North Fulton. We appreciate all of the support and business over the years and look forward to serving you for generations to come. We know that Bernard would be proud.  Our Timeline: Spanning Three Generations  1940’s: Emergence of a Businessman  After leaving the U.S. Navy, Bernard Abramson learned the ins and outs of customer service by a joining the family business, a 5 and 10-cent Variety Store. 1950’s: Proud Owners, Proud Jewelers  dobbs-jeweler In the early 1950’s Bernard decided to go out on his own with his passion for jewelry and became the proud new owner of Dobbs Jewelers in Columbus, Georgia.
