McKay Diamonds & Jewelry

More Info

General Info

The McKay legacy began in 1949 when Robert McKay and his wife Frances Ellen started their adventure in the diamonds business. McKay diamonds opened its doors at 157 South Main Street over 65 years ago. In May 2010, Robert McKay decided it was time to retire. Joe & Sandra Andrade, jumped at the opportunity to be a part of the McKay legacy. Joe has been in the jewelry business for over 35 years. Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil, he started his career at just nine years old as a watchmaker. He later began an apprenticeship, developing skills in jewelry carving and setting, and opened his first jewelry store in Brazil at age 17. Since then, he has never stopped doing business. That entrepreneurial spirit led Joe to move to the United States over 15 years ago, where he worked for other jewelry stores before starting his own company. It is hard to imagine historic Main Street without McKay Diamonds, and Joe knew that his new ownership would not change what McKay created: a place where your jeweler is your friend and your experience there will be one to remember. I want it to be personal, something with feeling and meaning, said Joe. That can be felt especially among those looking for Engagement and Wedding rings, an area of specialization for Andrade and his business. Many customers have a vision of what they want their ring to be. Whatever the style, to be involved in the whole process, to be able to literally watch the production of the ring, is an experience like no other. As a local business, everything is done in the store. Custom design allows someone to bring in a sketch or photograph of a piece, and the jeweler creates a mold of the design until the customer is totally satisfied. These pieces can be created using diamonds and other gemstones that you already have, or can be provided to you from our selection. The design and production process can take as little as 4 days, but creates memories that last a lifetime. It is a masterpiece for the person, he said. They come back and say, Thank you, my wife is so happy. McKay Diamonds customers have come back for all of their jewelry needs, whether a repair or custom design, because of its legacy that remains strong today.
