PEARLS-HERE WE GO!

The most valuable pearls occur spontaneously in the wild, but are extremely rare. These wild pearls are referred to as natural pearls. Cultured or farmed pearls from pearl oysters and freshwater mussels make up the the majority of those currently sold. Imitation pearls are also widely sold in inexpensive jewelry. Pearls have been harvested and cultivated primarily for use in jewelry, but in the past were also used to adorn clothing. They have also been crushed and used in cosmetics, medicine and paint formulations.

And lucky you - we have a lot of them. Come by and check out this beautiful stone!

OUR STORY

My name is Pat Elicker ~ owner of the Jewelry Barn. Our business was started in 1947 by my father - Leon Ness. He was a jeweler-watchmaker and had his business on 122 E. King St. in York, PA. Being a collector of antique cars, he moved the business in 1968 to our present location, 2695 S. George St, and used the bottom of the barn as his store and kept his cars upstairs. After his passing, I was very proud to take over for him. I became a graduate gemologist and love sharing my passion for jewelry with our customers.
