About Us
Welcome to R. Bruce Carson Jewelers. Our store is all about heartfelt emotions. We demonstrate it in the way we treat our customers and reach out to our community. It is important to us that we interact with each customer to exceed their expectations. In many cases, we develop relationships that turn into long-lasting friendships. We hold dearly the trust that each customer places in our hands when they bring their treasured keepsakes for us to work on and the integrity in honestly representing the quality and value of each piece of jewelry. Likewise, we place high value on our community and since our inception in 1902, R. Bruce Carson Jewelers has been involved in a whole host of organizations and agencies that contribute to the health and well-being of our community. Every year we donate to organizations that promote health, education, and the arts across our community.
