Job Summary:
Ernie Perry got his start in the jewelry business when he participated in a reputable jewelry store’s management training program in the mid-1960s. He started his own store in 1978, and he and his wife Priscilla would comb estate sales in their Toyota station wagon to build inventory. They knew they were in business when they had filled up more than fifty coffee cans with jewelry. From these humble beginnings, Perry’s Diamonds & Estate Jewelry has grown into the Southeast’s premiere diamond and estate jeweler. Ernie's daughter, Hadley has now taken the helm as the company's President & CEO and looks to continue to lead the company to new heights in the gem and jewelry industry.
