FACE OF
FINE
JEWELRY
LEVY JEWELERS - THE SILVER BOX
Looking at LOWELL KRONOWITZ one
can assume he is the epitome of a classic
Southern gentleman. Seeing him around
town without his perfectly starched suit and
tie is a rare occurrence and his signature
round mid-century glasses instantly
gives him away. But don’t let his perfectly
manicured appearance make you think he
isn’t a fighter. After growing up in Savannah
when it was still considered a small town, he
moved north where he became a hardened
Wall Street bond trader. There he met his
wife, Hilary, and developed his eye for
business. But he never dreamed life would
lead him to owning the family store he grew
up visiting so often as a child.
When he and his family moved back
to Savannah in 2003, Kronowitz’s cousin,
Aaron Levy, owned the business and
was focused on keeping it in the family.
After taking the reins, Kronowitz made it
his mission to uphold the traditions that
made Levy’s Jewelers so trusted and well
respected in Savannah. And the years
have been good to them. Throughout the
recession and all the changes it brought,
Levy’s has soldiered on. With a dedicated
staff, loyal customers and a responsible
business model, they made it out on top.
In 2011, Kronowitz moved their flagship
location to a three-story building on the
corner of Bull and Broughton, and oversaw
a huge redesign and renovation of the
existing building. Through local tradesmen
and innovative design, the Levy Jewelers
headquarters is nothing if not head turning.
From their start in 1900 as a watch
repair shop in City Market, to their current
status as diamond, watch and gemstone
aficionados, Levy Jewelers has always
depended on trust. Customers know
they will be well taken care of even after
they make a purchase. With repairs and
service done in house, a purchase of a
Levy Jewelers product means a long-term
relationship you can count on.
