Haney Jewelry Co. celebrates 76 years with a open house

- From staff reports

Haney Jewelry has been offering fine diamond jewelry, natural colored stone jewelry, diamond jewelry and tabletop gifts in downtown Calhoun for 76 years now.

The landmark business began in 1945 when Ruby and Jack Haney opened it after Jack Haney returned from service in World War II and completed training at the Joseph Bulova School of Watchmakin­g in New York City. The business was eventually passed down to their son, Tim Haney, who, along with his wife, Sue Haney, has kept the family tradition going, seeing it through decades of changing jewelry styles and customer preference­s.

As always, the Haneys are giving Turkey Day its due before focusing on Christmas. It’s a holiday that Tim Haney says holds special importance for the family, and it’s the reason they are conducting a Thanksgivi­ng open house this Sunday during what is typically Downtown Calhoun’s annual Christmas Open House event.

Tim Haney says the store offers an array of pieces that customers simply won’t find elsewhere, even in larger cities. They will have the opportunit­y to shop for colored stone and diamond jewelry as well as gift items and Waterford Crystal pieces. With these offerings, the Haneys hope to keep shoppers here in town as they wrap their holiday purchasing.

Regular store hours at the 106 Court St. location are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. For more informatio­n, call the store at 706-629-2751 or visit the Haney Jewelry Co. Facebook page.
