Top Jewelers in Martinsville, Indiana
Two of Martinsville’s top jewelry stores are located on the square. Ellis, which has been a Martinsville tradition is owned, operated and managed by John Anderson & DeAnna Barley. One website stated that Ellis Jewelers has been in business since 1916. Ellis is located at 39 North Jefferson Street (765) 342-6134. There, you can commission to have your baby’s shoes bronzed, purchase an item plated or dipped in gold (roses, golf balls,) purchase fine jewelry, and all the while support the Martinsville community.
Ellis jewelers is one of the most civically active companies in all of Martinsville. Ellis also offers repair services to fix your jewelry. A lot of people learned the hard way not to trust every newcomer when Ron Burton of Burton Jewelers was discovered to have replaced several customers’ diamonds with cheap Masonite CZ. Burton, an unscrupulous fraudsters switched stones for at least two years when customers left pieces with him for repair work. He also switched expensive diamonds with cheaper ones, which left Ellis Jewelers to test, recommend, and unfortunately inform many of its customers that they had been a victim of Ron Burton’s treachery. He likely ruined many lives, stealing heirloom after heirloom in an act of calculated greed.
Ellis also imports gems and is a member of WDI, GIA, and AGS. In addition, they are one of the only places you can get a watch or clock repaired in Martinsville.

Friedman Jewelers is located in the Rural King (old Wal-Mart) plaza near No. 1 Chinese restaurant at 1652 South Ohio Street, Martinsville IN 46151. The location is lovely, spacious, and the employees are very helpful. They have a sales circular sent out regularly, a catalog, and an online website at http://www.friedmans.com . Friedman’s also carries sterling silver, so if you’re less into bling and more into trends, they are quite affordable priced and come in a variety of styles.
One of the most exciting things I ever heard of is an annual event where Friedman’s sets up an exciting opportunity for customers to create the jewelry of their dreams. With hundreds of loose diamonds and gemstones as well as a variety of settings to choose from, anyone can design their own pieces after selecting the gems they like and the setting they want.

Deanna Barley is the owner, and she is quite involved in Martinsville activities. De Lynn Jewelry Specialists is a welcome addition to the Martinsville square, with wonderful wishes for a great future.
Some people have found a lot of fabulous jewelry at Pawn Plus, and though it is not a top Jewelry store, Pawn Plus is a place that should be noticed. Pawn plus has been around for a while and though they offer pawn and check loans as well as check cashing like most other pawn shops, you can sometimes find stunning jewelry. I found a beautiful heart-cut diamond .32 carat for under a hundred dollars. Later, when I had my jewelry checked and appraised, it was determined to be a VS diamond, and its color was G. The diamond was valued for insurance at over $900 without the setting. I absolutely love my diamond. Pawn Plus (765) 349-9567 is located at 639 State Road 39 Bypass.
No matter what kind of jewelry or jewelry service you’re looking for, you can find plenty of beautiful items at any of our top jewelry stores. Though many prefer a Wal-Mart diamond, there is just something about going into a jewelry store and picking out the gem of your dreams, which is reason enough to make your first choice in Jewelry a choice to visit one of these wonderful shops.
