Our rich heritage started in 1955 in a small shopping center in New Castle, Delaware called the Continental Shopping Center. There, Continental Jewelers was owned by business partners Andrew Gallagher and Harry Rofel. At the time, Gallagher and Rofel used a local repair shop owned by Jay G. Cohen, a goldsmith.
Have you considered cleaning out your jewelry box and selling the things you no longer wear?. We can buy your old gold, platinum, and silver jewelry. We also buy fine watches, diamonds and gemstones. We can even purchase your old sterling flatware, tea sets and tableware! We'll take the time to analyze your pieces to make sure we are giving you the best price we can.
From conceptualizing the design to producing the finished piece, our team of designers and craftspeople can take your ideas and create a custom, one-of-a-kind, unique piece of jewelry. Do you have a family heirloom you'd like to duplicate? We can provide that service as well. We can also help you update the style of your existing jewelry at a fraction of the cost of buying something new.
As members of the American Gem Society, we follow their established guidelines for appraisal practices that assures you will be protected in the event of a loss of precious jewelry. We maintain an Accredited Gem Lab and have Certified Gemologist Appraisers of the American Gem Society on staff. We offer insurance appraisal, the purpose of which is to help you assure a replacement of equal utility, quality and value in the event of a loss.
We can take care of all your jewelry and timepiece repair needs! Our jewelry repairs are done right on the premises. Our intimate understanding of metals and gemstones allows us to make the best possible choice of old world techniques versus state of the art technology, done by skilled craftspeople who can employ both methods.

My family always enjoys doing business with Continental Jewelers. The staff is friendly and always take their time with you whether it is a jewelry repair or searching for a gift. I appreciate that unlike other stores the staff does not try to up sell. They have a wonderful selection of all different types of jewelry for men, women & children and if you don’t find what you want you can choose from their many catalogs. If you have not been to Continental Jewelers, stop by even to just browse

I have a personal story about Chrysa and Continental Jewelers. I purchased my wedding ring (which is beautiful) from Diane at Continental. Diane is so kind and helpful!! She even sent us a wedding card! Right before my wedding, my engagement band broke, but I didn’t have enough time to get it in and fixed before my wedding. Soon after my wedding, I brought it in to get fixed and get more gold added. I also wanted to make my wedding ring a bit bigger. I hated to be without both rings, but I knew Continental would make them perfect for me, as they have with my other jewelry they have fixed. I was

Continental is my favorite jewelry store! They have a wonderful variety of jewelry at different price points. I have to check out every case each time I visit. The staff are so dedicated to helping you find exactly what you want. I took a friend there last week and she bought a diamond ring! My husband shops for me there for birthdays and holidays. I love Continental Jewelers!

Dropped off a ring to be resized 3 weeks ago and was told it would be done within 2 weeks. After no update calls I decided to reach out to them to see what the delay was. They advised "they are VERY busy and trying to get work completed as soon as possible". Now I have no idea when it will be done and the person was very short and seemed irritated. Here are suggestions:
1. Do not tell people it will take 2 weeks to complete a job unless you are 100% sure it will be completed.
2. Proactively call customers when delays occur. This approach is FAR better and usually understood by the customer
