History

R. Bruce Carson Jewelers was founded by Robert "Bruce" Carson in 1902. Bruce Carson owned the business until 1949. From the onset Bruce Carson had a vision to bring rare and unique treasures to this area. Among these were a display of jewelry owned by Czar Alexander II, rare Phoenician glass dating from 200 BC and an array of silver and other giftware that comprised one of the finest collections in this part of the country at that time.

Upon his death, he left the business to Jacob Bare and Leon Gross. Jacob Bare held the store until he retired in 1976 and sold the store to Charles Newcomer. Charles Newcomer retired in 1994 and the business is now owned by his son Thomas Newcomer.

Carson Jewelers maintains its commitment to offering the area's finest jewelry and unique giftware. It has always been a full service jeweler with staff including jewelers, gemologists/appraisers and a watchmaker. Carson Jewelers is a member of the American Gem Society, Jewelers of America, and is one of the nation's oldest members of the Jewelers Security Alliance.
