“ Someone can come in with a $ 50 budget or a $ 5,000 budget and be able to walk out with something they are proud to give . That ’ s why I believe we get so busy this time of year . We want the person who receives our jewelry as a gift to just love it . Because if she loves it , she ’ s going to tell everyone where it came from .” - Doug Doggett
Doggett said the store offers all the best designer diamond jewelry , engagement rings , fashion gemstone jewelry and bridal collections .
As a full-service jewelry store , Doggett shared that their jewelry services include jewelry repair , custom design jewelry , and jewelry appraisals . They also offer general jewelry upkeep advice with or without purchase from the showroom .
Providing special gifts for the community has become more than just a job but a special gift for Doggett and his family .
“ And I wouldn ’ t have it any other way ,” said Doggett . “ I love people . I love watching individuals , couples , and even families celebrate some of the most special occasions / milestones in their lives .”
When looking back over his life in Alabama , the Tennessee native , whose dad once served as a State senator , said he has enjoyed living in this area with his wife of more than 60 years .
“ Cullman has especially been good to us ,” he said . “ We have been here for over 40 years now and it is our home .”
Now , though , the 80-year-old jewelry store owner is enjoying a different kind of life — retirement with his beautiful sweetheart .
