Our reputation depends on the service we perform, the quality of our merchandise and our integrity. We stand out because of our family values and our personal approach to the jewelry business.

OUR STAFF

The staff of Greene’s Jewelers adheres to the old-fashioned philosophy of serving the customer that is characteristic of a family-owned business. We extend many services to our customers before and after their purchase. We are here to offer any further information or assistance. We strive to give each purchase our personal touch and we want our customers to experience our personal service that insures return visits.

We are a family business that has strengthened through the years. Our beautiful location in the heart of Downtown Rome is celebrating our 59th year and each year has witnessed growth without the loss of our values.

Greene’s Jewelers founder, P. H. Greene, Sr., set the stage for his son George and his wife Thelma Tate Greene to open this store and they owned it together until they turned it over to their daughters, Joyce Greene Manning and Sarah Greene Brock in 1990. Joyce’s daughter, Elaine Manning Abercrombie joined the staff in 1984 and made Greene’s Jewelers four generations old. The previous generations’ example of hard work and consistency is reflected in each member of our staff. Experience is a good teacher and it shows in our merchandise and friendly personnel.

Our mentors were the previous generations. We learned from our grandfather and our parents how to be what we are today.Greene’s Jewelers has always been community-minded. George Greene became interested in preserving historic downtown Rome in the early 1970’s. His granddaughter Elaine has continued in that tradition. We love Broad Street and continue to be active in downtown activities.
