OVER 100 YEARS AGO WILLIAM JOSEPH CROGHAN, a hand engraver and jeweler OPENED HIS STORE IN AN 18TH CENTURY CHARLESTON SINGLE HOUSE ON KING STREET. WHILE HE BEGAN ONLY OCCUPYING THE SIDE PORCH OF OUR BUILDING AS A LONG SKINNY LITTLE SHOP, OVER THE YEARS WE HAVE EXPANDED TO OCCUPY THE ENTIRE BUILDING. AS THE OLDEST family-owned JEWELRY STORE IN TOWN, CROGHAN’S JEWEL BOX IS A TREASURE TROVE OF THE MOST EXCITING AND UNIQUE INVENTORY IN THE LOWCOUNTRY. FROM ESTATE AND ANTIQUE FINDS TO GIFTS FOR EVERY OCCASION, THE STORE IS NOW SERVING ITS 4TH GENERATION OF CUSTOMERS AND VISITORS TO OUR HOLY CITY.
WILLIAM CROGHAN'S GRANDDAUGHTERS AND GREAT GRANDDAUGHTERS WATCH OVER 308 KING STREET TODAY. WHILE MAINTAINING THE old world charm OF THE STORE, THEIR ADDITIONS HAVE BEEN MEANINGFUL. THEY HAVE INTRODUCED MANY EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTS, EXPANDED THE ESTATE AND ANTIQUE COLLECTIONS, ADDED A COMPLETE DESIGN STUDIO AND WORKSHOP ON THE 2ND FLOOR AMONG OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS. MINI HAY’S GOLDBUG COLLECTION HAS TAKEN THE WORLD BY STORM AND CAN BE FOUND IN 29 RETAIL STORES NATIONWIDE.
