H&H Jewelry Design has long been a staple in the Greater Lansing jewelry market. The
history of this local gem dates back to 1946 when Ford Hurlbutt began repairing jewelry
in the Lansing area. Hurlbutt and Keith Harsh established H&H Jewelry in 1971, and this year they celebrate their 70th anniversary as a family-owned and operated business.
H&H Jewelry’s Saginaw Highway location is beautifully designed; combining both modern
jewelry display techniques with elegant traditional touches like wood trimmed display cabinets. H&H Jewelry Design takes great pride in offering timeless quality and a distinctive approach to the selection or design of your perfect piece.
H&H Jewelry Design does all repairs in house which is a rarity in the local area. Both Jannine and Ron Alexander have a combined 65 years of experience and both are certified goldsmiths. Three generations later, and part of an elite group of true custom design jewelers, H&H honors the history and tradition of the current owner’s father and grandfather by offering a delightful range of unique jewelry. Whether a customer is looking for an affordable statement piece to accent evening wear or a one-of-a-kind design to marry the love of their life, H&H Jewelry Design approaches each individual with a vested interest in offering a piece which works for their life, their story, and their style.
Owner Jannine Alexander recalls the excellent craftsmanship of he r grandfather, Ford. Ford enjoyed working meticulously on each piece of jewelry, sometimes working well
beyond normal hours to get a piece right. He was also passionate about transferring
his knowledge. His son-in-law and business partner, Keith Harsh, would be the beneficiary of this knowledge transfer. Her father, Keith, Jannine’s father, would continue Ford’s legacy of production as well as offered his patient and consistent nature for every customer.
Keith retired from serving the country as a World War II veteran at 48 years young and poured his energy into H&H Jewelry and his family. He walked tall, looked regal, and brought decorum to everything he did, including growing the business. Jannine recalls Keith presenting to her son Jacob’s classroom, insisting on a hats-off policy and sharing his rich history of serving the country and operating the business. Keith’s quiet, focused manner did not detract from his enthusiasm when elaborating on his H&H story. In fact, this quiet focus has served his family well as they continue to run the business today.
For a business to make it 70 years, especially in an industry where big box stores and online shops are prevalent, H&H Jewelry is thriving under the care of Jannin
e and her husband Ron. Ron, also an Army veteran like Jannine’s father, is an expert in jewelry repair and appraisal services, carrying the craftsmanship and fastidiousness tied to the
H&H brand forward. When asked how they are making it in this tough market, the H&H team points to its consistency in service delivery, a strong social media presence and a jewelry selection process that appeals to all ages.
More importantly, H&H Jewelry credits the diversity in their staff and the close knit family connection to their success at serving a variety of clientele. It is not uncommon for third generation customers, influenced by their grandparents, to walk through the door of H&H on a given day. The H&H Jewelry team cares for each other, their customers, and the community the company has called home for 70 years. Success to them is capturing a customer’s story and reflecting it in the pieces they sell or design.
Jannine says, “We ask a lot of questions when a customer comes in. Sometimes it surprises them. By learning someone’s story and things like how they use their hands if they are looking for rings, we offer a level of service they might not find otherwise. We then help reflect their story in the jewelry.”
It just takes one visit to see that H&H Jewelry has the skill and heart associated with 70
years in a business, and the energy and relevancy to rock out another 70.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1474983399383{border-top-width: 3px !important;border-right-width: 3px !important;border-bottom-width: 3px !important;border-left-width: 3px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;background-color: #000000 !important;border-left-color: #353535 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #353535 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #353535 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #353535 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}”]
Care Tips for Your Jewelry
Have your jewelry professionally cleaned and inspected every 3 to 6 months (depending on frequency of wear).
Treat your jewelry with care. It is best to remove your jewelry when cleaning, exercising, gardening or swimming in chlorinated water. Over-exposure to lotions, facial cleaners, hair-sprays and perfumes could also lead to problems.
Have your jewelry insured and update your jewelry appraisal every five years to keep up with the current market replacement value.
