How It All Began
Ernie Perry got his start in the jewelry business when he participated in a reputable jewelry store’s management training program in the mid-1960s. He started his own store in 1977, and he and his wife Priscilla would comb estate sales in their Toyota station wagon to build inventory. They knew they were in business when they had filled up more than fifty coffee cans with jewelry.
Their first store was on Independence Boulevard, but they soon moved the business to South Park Mall, where it would thrive for 30 years.
Our Services
After over 30 years of living in SouthPark Mall, in February of 2012 Perry's expanded and moved across the street to our new location on Morrison Boulevard. Look for our offices and showroom on the bottom floor of the blue building, directly across the street from SouthPark Mall.
We buy, sell, and trade vintage, antique and estate jewelry, gold, coins, diamonds, silver, platinum, and so much more. Additionally, we have a dozen appraisers on staff including ten GIA Graduate Gemologists, a coin expert, and a personal property appraiser to accurately evaluate and appraise your jewelry, coins and household items. We also offer on-site jewelry repair and custom design services. No other jewelry store or gold dealer in the area has a staff as qualified and experienced as Perry’s.
Perry's also sells a number of different items on eBay - visit our eBay page here.
