Masey’s Jewelers celebrated its Grand Opening on July 25, 2008, at the corner of Robb Street and Highway 51 in Summit.  The store opened on June 2, 2008, in its new location after having been in Southwest Mall in McComb for three years.   Jeff Coon is owner/jeweler/watchmaker, and his mother-in-law Sharon Mizell is owner/manager.  Jeff is GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certified in diamonds, and he is working towards his Graduate Gemologist diploma in gemstones. 

Much hard work went into preparing the store for its new occupants.  The family spent about five months with up to eighteen-hour days working on the former Felder’s Jewelers building after closing the McComb store for the day.  They completely re-did the outside of the building, putting in new windows, a new door, and attractive stucco.  They also painted the interior walls with a granite paint that has a unique texture because it actually has tiny stones within the paint.

An appreciation of days gone by is reflected in the owners’ work ethic.  “We love our customers,” Sharon Mizell says.  “Our customers come first.  When we decided we were going to open a business, we wanted it to be like what we call ‘in the old days,’ when customers mattered, when they were important, when you greet them at the door, and if they have any problems, you take care of them.”

Masey’s (named after Jeff and Misty Coon’s daughter Masey) is a full-service jewelry shop, offering complete jewelry sales and repair.  They offer four different watch lines, a large selection of bridal jewelry and diamonds, all kinds of colored stones, trophies, and fine gifts.  All repair work is done in the store.  They have all the latest equipment, including a laser welder and a torch.  Because no jewelry needs to leave the store to be repaired, customers receive their merchandise back faster, and any problems that arise are immediately taken care of.  “We back up what we do 100 percent,” Sharon Mizell says.

Masey’s Jewelers, located at 800 Robb Street in Summit, is open Monday through Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM, and Saturday 9 AM – 1 PM, with extended holiday hours.  The phone number is 276-7533.
