Brenner's Jewelry, owned by Fred W. Brenner, has been in business in the same block since 1933. "Our first location was at 510 Monument Square. In January of 1948 we moved to our present location, 530 Monument Square. We carry a complete line of fine jewelry, consisting of nationally known and name brand merchandise, such as Accutron, Bulova, Caravelle and Times watches. In silverware, we carry 1847 Rodgers, Community plate and International sterling. It is our endeavor to serve you as conscientiously in the future as we have done in the past."
Allen Brenner joined his father at Brenner's Jewelry, over six years ago. He is a licensed watchmaker, jeweler and Gemologist. As Allyn says, "If you don't know your jewelry, you had better know your jeweler. When you visit Brenner's we will explain the all-important diamond terms, such as clarity, cut color and brilliance. Let us show you the difference in quality and explain to you, how this affects the cost. When it comes to diamonds, we can show you how to purchase wisely. Fine jewelry and expert service, is always available at Brenner's."
