Cliffside Park, NJ--John D’Amore, second generation owner of historic D’Amore Jewelers, announced his retirement after 52 years in the jewelry business.

A former art teacher, John D’Amore began working at his parents’ jewelry store more than over 52 years ago. What started as a sabbatical from teaching became a passionate career as D’Amore and his mother curated their inventory and began to specialize in designer jewelry and luxury watches.

Over the years, the store grew into an expansive showroom with an expanded selection of designer jewels that included Bulgari, Marco Bicego and Roberto Coin.

D’Amore said his fondest memories are of hosting big events featuring top designers, exclusive fashions, the fine hospitality.

“We’ve always catered to being humble and making sure the customer was well taken care of. It’s been a pleasure to serve everyone, from people seeking giftware, to high end watches and nice pieces of jewelry,” D’Amore said. “I want to express my appreciation to the community for allowing a schoolteacher from a middle class family to curate these special valuables for them.”

To mark the occasion, D’Amore Jewelers will host a retirement sale with savings storewide of up to 70% off.

Meanwhile, D’Amore says he looks forward to volunteering with local animal welfare organizations, and spending time with friends and family, including his daughters and grandchildren.
