The next Jack Lewis Jewelers is here. Decades of dreaming, years of planning, months of construction, and weeks of setting-up and settling-in have all led to this. The new store is open, and we’d love to show you around.
Come alongside Carter & Josh on a full 45-minute tour of the new Jack Lewis Jewelers. From outside to inside, from downstairs to upstairs, from the Bar & Lounge to the Rooftop Terrace, you’ll get a full firsthand look at the new showroom and all the easter eggs that were designed into the space. It’s a journey through the past, present, and future of Jack Lewis Jewelers with Carter telling stories every step of the way.

The project will be designed locally by Kyle Glandon and Paul Scharnett at Hewn Architectural Studio (the new entity formed at the start of 2024 by the merger of Workbench and SAA), and be built locally by Catalyst Construction, led by the team of Andy Kaufmann, Britt Steffen, and Josiah Koch.
It was an honor to have a crowd of family, friends, and colleagues join us for the celebration.

Our hope, of course, is that this tour makes you want to come visit in person. Photos and videos can only do so much. You need to step inside to truly get the same jaw-dropping experience that hundreds of other clients have already had. For almost 100 years, we believe our team, our services, and our jewelry have always been top notch. Now, we’ve got the store to match. Wherever you’re from, it’s worth the trip.
Enjoy the tour! And when you’re ready, we can’t wait to welcome you to the new Jack Lewis Jewelers with a perfectly-made coffee and an approachable, modern luxury experience you’ll never forget.
