About Us

Farnan Jewelers was established in 1915 by Edward A. Farnan in downtown Philadelphia.  As the years progressed, Edward's sons, John and Ed, carried on the business in the northern suburbs and finally to Wayne in 1976.  John's daughter, Claire, continues the legacy today.

We stock fine quality jewelry that is traditional, but often carries a modern flair.   Our exclusive designs are featured as well.  We specialize in redesigning unworn jewelry into new updated designs and also create special items by request.  The store also supplies some trendy jewelry accessories, such as acrylic or glass beads, that appeal to all age ranges.  Shoppers find gifts for all occasions in any budget range at our store.

We offer expert, on premises jewelry repair by Jeremy Pavlow, who is a Certified Goldsmith by GIA.  Jeremy studied at Tyler School of Art and completed the GIA Graduate Diamonds Diploma Program.  Claire has a Graduate Gemologist degree from GIA, which certifies her to identify gemstones and appraise jewelry.           

Farnan Jewelers also imports diamonds directly from Belgium.  Claire travels there to find the perfect diamonds for stock and for customer's special requests.  Belgium's worldly reputation for cutting diamonds has progressed to embrace the distinction of being the largest diamond trading center in the world.
