I recently stumbled on a
real "gem of a store" (no pun intended)
on Main Street, Uniontown, Pa. 'Joyce's
Fine Jewelry'. Thanks to my cousin Joyce
Deems' encouragement I went to the
downtown area, recently revitalized by
Joe Hardy, Founder of 84 Lumber and
Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. Joyce's
Jewelry is a family owned/operated
store. The family; Joyce, David and
their son Branden Katzeff have a
beautiful store that is part of Joe
Hardy's revitalization project complete
with a one of a kind chandelier that was
recently imported from France. Indeed,
Mr. Hardy has never been known to do
anything small or below average. To
learn more about Joe Hardy, Sr. go to
www.nemacolinwoodlands.com
David Katzeff said his father and uncle
were in the jewelry business many years
ago. Katzeff had other businesses but
his wife Joyce, as most women do, had a
love for jewelry. Joyce opened a store
in 1982. Although David has had
affiliate businesses in Hong Kong,
Singapore and Malaysia since 1985 he has
chosen to make Uniontown his and his
families home. His wife Joyce is vibrant
and has a certain spark that complements
David's quiet yet thoughtful demeanor.
Their son Brandon chose to follow in the
footsteps of his parents, having
attended business school and later
gemology school.
Because of Davids affiliations with the
Far East and India, jewelry is able to
be custom designed at a fast pace. David
says his families goal is to make, "High
quality jewelry that is affordable."
According to Nemacolin Woodlands site,
"Joe Hardy serves as Vice Chairman of
the Board of Commissioners of Fayette
County, where he lives and where
Nemacolin Woodlands is located. Joe has
employed the same leadership, vision and
drive that created 84 Lumber and
Nemacolin Woodlands to lead a
multi-million dollar renovation of
Uniontown, the largest city in the
county, donating millions of dollars to
support street and building improvements
and construction of green spaces. He is
now leading the charge to create an
urban mall, featuring some of the best
known retailers in the country that will
stimulate tourism in a business corridor
that for decades was ignored."
If you are in the area, this is worth
seeing.
