Growing up in Greensboro, my dad’s office was located on State St. and I have many fond memories of visiting the locally owned shops. At 17 years old, I purchased my first piece of jewelry from Mark Holder. I had shopped around at several big box stores in Greensboro but was most comfortable and confident in the staff, price and selection I found at Mark’s store.

  Fast forward a few years and my brother and I turned a hobby into an estate jewelry business.  Mark was quick to share his immense knowledge and repair skills with us.  His laser welder enabled us to
 repair many old items that otherwise would be left in ruin.  He was also kind enough to write Michael’s letter of recommendation to GIA for diamond coursework allowing him to gain valuable expertise in precious gemstones.

  Our business has grown to become one of the largest online estate and pre-owned jewelry stores with over $10 million in sales.  Our industry connections and internet savvy allow us to find a wide selection of vintage, estate and new jewelry at value prices. Our staff have the skill and tools to provide expert repair and custom design and we love helping people find that special piece to commemorate special occasion.

  We are happy to announce that we are the new owners of State St. Jewelers and look forward to continuing the tradition of excellence. You’ll see familiar faces and we welcome new and old customers back and hope to serve all of your jewelry needs.

Our company evaluates and buys hundreds of pieces of jewelry and diamonds every day! Jewelers from across the country send in packages for us to buy from them, because we pay the most. We have the knowledge and industry connections to both get you the best price for your jewelry, watches, gold and diamonds as well as to sell you previously enjoyed pieces at fabulous prices. Because we resell and repurpose the majority of the treasures we buy, we are truly able to pay top dollar. The relationships we have within the diamond industry allows us to pay some of the highest prices found. Be certain to ask us for a free, no obligation quote before you part with your valuables

It is important to keep your jewelry and watches safe and insured. We partner with the same company we use for our own insurance, Jewelers Mutual, to offer insurance on all of your personal jewelry. We also offer expert appraisals. If you haven’t had a piece evaluated within 10 years we recommend coming in and letting us photograph and evaluate your piece for you. From single pieces to entire estates, our GIA trained staff can appraise and even make a cash offer if you wish to sell

You can trust your family heirlooms and hard-working daily jewelry to the very competent staff at State St. Jewelers. We have three expert jewelers with decades of experience working with sterling silver, gold, and platinum. Our state of the art laser soldering machine allows us to make factory new welds and to work with low heat around precious gemstones doing repairs not possible for other jewelers. Whether you are adding a new charm to your bracelet, repairing a necklace, replacing a missing diamond or sizing Grandmother’s estate ring – we are here to help with our on-site jewelers. Many repairs can be done while you wait or peruse the other great shops at State Street.
