Rooted in a legacy that began in 1923, Cornell's Jewelers traces its origins to Harry Cornell, who started repairing clocks while working full time. After receiving jewelry as payment during the Great Depression, he launched his own business, eventually forming Harry Cornell & Co., Inc. with his brother Maurice. Over the years, the company grew into a trusted wholesale supplier of loose diamonds and fine jewelry, serving jewelers across multiple states. David Cornell, Harry’s son, continued the family tradition, ensuring the business remained deeply connected to Rochester’s community. Today, the store maintains its heritage while offering modern services like custom design, battery replacement, and product cleaning, all supported by experienced staff.
