60 years ago, Bernie and Lorraine Rosenberg never imagined their little appliance store would one day become a prestigious and successful family of jewelry stores. But with $2,500, a can of paint, and a passion to deliver a memory-making product with the highest level of customer satisfaction the Rosenbergs created something special that exceeded even their wildest dreams.
Celebrating the company’s 60th anniversary, Harvey and Maddy Rovinsky reflected on their history and Maddy’s parents’ legacy. “My Dad was so vibrant and cared deeply about his customers. Mom’s determination added the drive. It was a great combination,” said Maddy.
When Harvey, who helped run his father’s watch business from the age of 10, met and married Maddy, his passion for diamonds and fine jewelry began the transformation that has become Bernie Robbins Jewelers. “Bernie was the best mentor a young man could have. He encouraged me to travel to the world’s diamond centers and learn everything I could.”
While the original Bernie Robbins store has changed and grown to 4 fine jewelry stores in the Philadelphia and South New Jersey area, one thing hasn’t changed. Says Harvey, “Bernie’s legacy is to treat your customers like they mean the world to you. Which they do.” Added Maddy, “To us, it’s about celebrating our customers’ milestones and special moments.”
From Maytag and GE to a line that includes first quality engagement and luxury diamonds, rare Alluvial® Color Diamonds, the world’s most prestigious timepieces, and universally celebrated designers such as Roberto Coin, Marco Bicego, Ippolita, and many others – 60 years after its founding, service and attention to customer detail remain the hallmark of Bernie Robbins.
Today Harvey and Maddy Rovinsky travel the world to discover and debut exclusive diamonds, jewelry, and watches. Says Harvey, “This year in particular, we’ve assembled a special collection.” Adds Maddy, “Our 60th Anniversary Collection is a wonderful assortment of reimagined retro pieces along with pieces from chic new designers.”
Jewelry and timepiece shoppers can see the Bernie Robbins 60th Anniversary Collection at locations in Newtown, Villanova, Somers Point, and Hardrock Hotel & Casino. Or shop and buy online at BernieRobbins.com
