(PRESS RELEASE) OLD KAPAA TOWN, KAUAI, HAWAII — After 47 years of serving the island community of Kauai, Jim Saylor is retiring and closing the doors of his jewelry business for good. To celebrate his shining legacy and the remarkable relationships he’s made over the years, he will be holding a huge Going Out of Business Sale starting Tuesday, March 7th.

The story of Jim Saylor Jewelers began in 1976. Jim Saylor had $150 in his pocket and a tackle box of jewelry tools when he set up shop in the back closet of a shop and went to work. With zero formal training he started doing trade work, such as ring sizing and repairs. He eventually expanded the business into custom, repairs and restoration work.
For more than four decades Jim’s business flourished in the same location. He built an incredibly strong customer base who adored his beautifully handcrafted treasures, pieces that celebrated special moments and milestones. Through listening and authentically caring for his customers, Jim built long-lasting relationships and friendships. Generations of families came to Jim to create breathtaking pieces that would commemorate their most precious moments and stand the test of time. Even now, some of his pieces still shine brightly after 40 years.
Jim says the key to his success is his passion. “I love what I do. I dive in head-first on any project.” He further commented: “I’m so incredibly honored to be part of this small island community and be supported personally and professionally by everyone here. The friendships and relationships I’ve developed through my business have been wonderful and I feel really blessed.”
During the final weeks of Jim Saylor Jewelers, stop by to share your stories with Jim and send him off with well wishes. And beginning March 7th, you can shop from an incredible selection of fine jewelry, all up to 70% off.
