Friedman's Jewelers

Friedman’s Inc. was a chain of some 600 specialty retail jewelry stores throughout the southeastern United States and adjoining areas. Based in Savannah, Georgia, it had stores in 22 states, and sells to a low- to middle-income clientele in the 18-to-45 age bracket. Finlay Fine Jewelers, America’s Finest Jewelers and it’s brands have conducted over $50 billion in jewelry sales with some of the leading retail partners in the world since 1832. Finlay Enterprises Incorporated’s principal activities are the retailing of fine jewelry products and operating leased fine jewelry department stores throughout the United States and France. Founded as Seligman & Latz, the company’s original focus was the operation of beauty salons, also under a lease arrangement with department and specialty stores. Jewelry sales were soon added to the company’s portfolio, and by 1942, the company opened its first leased Finlay Fine Jewelry department. Today Finlay Enterprises owns and operates Finlay Fine Jewelers, a collection of over 30 brands. The group collectively pulls from a rotating inventory of $130 million in precious metals and loose stones and brokers diamonds to over 2,600 locations in North America. Each year, Finlay Fine Jewelry can be seen on the red carpet at the Golden Globes, Academy Awards, Grammys, and Independent Spirit Awards. Vin Lee Jewelers, the creator of the tennis earring, has been worn by celebrities, diplomats, and even royalty, most notably at the Cannes Film Festival by family of the President of France.
