Who We Are

A Family Legacy on Park Avenue

Simmons Jewelers was founded in 1953 by Robert Simmons, Sr., who established the store at its original location on Park Avenue in Winter Park, Florida. What began as a single passion for fine jewelry and watchmaking has grown into a beloved community institution, with generations of the Simmons family carrying on that tradition.

We are thrilled to be back at our original Park Avenue location — right next to Peterbrooke Chocolatier — where it all began. This homecoming marks a new chapter while honoring the rich legacy of craftsmanship, integrity, and community that has defined Simmons Jewelers for over 70 years.

Every piece that comes through our doors — whether for repair, appraisal, purchase, or sale — is treated with the same care and respect we would give our own family heirlooms. That's not a policy. It's who we are.
