Over sixty-five years ago in the Overbrook section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania a new and innovative business was introduced! John Anthony Jewelers established a completely equipped shop on the premises that could develop and manufacture elegant jewelry which would become family heirlooms of the future.  Founder: John Anthony Sr.   From the very beginning in 1946, the goal was to serve the public with confidence and honesty. We were unique then as now in having our own workshop on the premises. Jewelry stores customarily had to send repair work off premises to be completed by others. John Anthony Jewelers was able to create new designs and bring them to completion in our own shop.  On November 9, 1956 "John Anthony Jewelers" moved to larger quarters located at 133 Montgomery Avenue, Bala-Cynwyd, Pennsylvania and continued to own and operate a family business. Longevity has proven our dedication to the Main Line. Celebrating over sixty years in the jewelry business, we look forward to many more years of providing valued service, dedication and unsurpassable excellence.
