Redd and Company Customizing the American Dream As we approach the holiday season, we often begin to think on the things we will purchase for loved ones, family, friends, and associates. Every now and again, we seek to find that perfect gift for the special people in our lives and just draw a blank. In that case, I suggest a custom piece from a Lehigh Valley gem, Redd and Company Fine Jewelers. Nestled in on Allentown’s south side, Redd and Company Fine Jewelers stands as a hidden treasure that personifies the American Dream. Hard work and dedication to achieving your dream, while allowing your creativity to flow, is what we found in Allentown. Owner Redwan Kholi immigrated to the United States in his early teens and was soon immersed in American culture. Shortly after graduating high school Redwan, formally known as “Redd” by his peers, joined the work force and began to work as a sales associate for a corporate jewelry chain. Over ten years, Redd would become the manager of one of the most successful jewelry stores in town. He became highly sought after for his expertise as he began to build strong relationships with his customer base. As with many seeking the American Dream through hard work, Redd realized that time for change had come when he saw that he knew more about the jewelry business than most of the corporations he was working for. Understanding his own potential, he routinely envisioned opening his own jewelry store. In 2003, Redd decided to venture out on his own. With hard work, years of experience, and a devoted following of customers under his belt, he opened Redd and Co. Fine Jewelers. For over ten years now Redd and his staff, which includes his wife, has set Redd and Company apart from his competition. Their ability to provide you with the highest quality fine jewelry, while offering a relaxed, family-like atmosphere is one of the great things about the store. Take some time to stop by and experience Redd and Company for yourself. While you are there, ask him for a cup of coffee and enjoy a wonderful conversation.
