My grandfather, Henry Minor, initiated the watchmaking fascination that would shape the lives of future generations in the Minor family. He worked on watches at night and on rainy days, stirring the interest of his sons. Each son had his own box of watches like boys today have Matchbox cars. Grandpa opened his first watch repair shop in Alabama during the 1930's.
I, Jesse Minor, Jr., began repairing watches when I was ten years old. While other boys where cutting grass to make money, I was repairing clocks and watches. After high school, I went to Kansas City School of Watchmaking. In 1986 I opened Minor Jewelry in Nashville, Tennessee. Since then I have worked diligently to improve the means by which I may assist customers.

Diamond Education
Report
Our Four C's of Diamonds guide can help you decide on the most important factors when shopping for a diamond. The word carat derives from the word carob, a Mediterranean seed, which has an extremely consistent weight for measuring. The greater the carat weight, the rarer, and more valuable the diamond becomes.
Choosing The Right Setting
Report
Solitaire settings are great if you have a stunning singular stone that has been passed down through the generations as an heirloom, many choose to display it in a classic Solitaire setting. This setting generally allows for the maximum amount of sparkle by allowing light to pass in through the bottom sections of the ring.
Jewelry Care
Report
While our jewelry was created to last a lifetime, there are some factors that can contribute to the everyday wear and tear of your fine jewelry. Because of the high value and rarity of certain jewelry, some people like to store their jewelry in a safe when not in use. If you have individual gemstones, a soft pouch is good for keeping them from coming in contact with other hard surfaces.
Appraisals
Report
Do you need an appraisal for insurance purposes or for peace of mind? Are you trying to determine the value of an estate? With the price of precious metals and gemstones rising rapidly, it is more important than ever to have your jewelry appraised properly.
