Pittsburgh’s JAB Jewelry Works Named One of America’s Coolest Stores by INSTORE

More than 50 stores took part in the 23rd annual contest that highlights the best examples of independent jewelry retailers in North America.

“Every year we feel privileged to bring our readers the best of the best in our industry,” said Trace Shelton, INSTORE’s editor-in-chief. “We look for qualities like innovative marketing, top-notch client service, a creative retail environment and a unique work culture.”

Stores are judged on interior and exterior appearance, store biography, marketing, online presence and overall individuality.

The top three winners in two divisions (“Small Cool” and “Big Cool”) are featured in the September issue of INSTORE and at instoremag.com. Honorable Mention stores will be featured as monthly Cool Stores in issues of INSTORE from October 2024 through July 2025.
