A Heritage of Excellence
Founded in 1893 by the watchmaker Simon Schiffman, our journey began in the heart of downtown Greensboro. His vision was simple: to bring exceptional jewelry and personal service to the community. Over five generations, this vision has flourished as Schiffman’s expanded to multiple locations while remaining deeply rooted in family values.
Today, we continue to honor that legacy across all of our locations, including Greensboro and Winston‑Salem, North Carolina, and Lexington, Kentucky. These stores are more than just retail locations—they embody the essence of Schiffman’s. Over the years, many of our clients have shared how a special piece from any of our locations has become a cherished part of their family history, passed from one generation to the next as treasured heirlooms.
Fine Jewelry, Timepieces, and Custom Creations
At Schiffman’s, we curate an exceptional selection of fine jewelry that includes diamond engagement rings, wedding bands, and designer collections by David Yurman, Mikimoto, Roberto Coin, Hearts On Fire, and more. We believe jewelry is more than adornment. It is an expression of style, love, and the moments that matter most. Whether marking an engagement, an anniversary, or a special milestone, each piece in our collection is selected to inspire and endure.
Our luxury timepiece collection features some of the world's most prestigious watchmakers, including Tudor, Omega, and IWC. We take pride in offering Greensboro clients an elevated experience when selecting or servicing a timepiece. A luxury watch is more than an accessory—it’s a statement of timeless elegance and craftsmanship that can last a lifetime.
