Making more room for what you love. Charleston’s oldest family-owned jewelry store, Croghan’s Jewel Box, has outgrown its original home and expanded to a new, larger storefront.
The newly opened 6,000-sqft flagship store is located at 155 King St., near the corner of Queen Street. The two-story showroom features larger workspaces for the store’s bench jewelers + certified gemologists, plus more room for its beloved antique, estate, and contemporary collections.
Fun fact: The new space honors the store’s classic charm + features lighting fixtures from Charleston-based The Urban Electric Co. and custom awning poles and stair railings crafted by local ironworkers.
