About Us
Report
Our rich heritage started in 1955 in a small shopping center in New Castle, Delaware called the Continental Shopping Center. There, Continental Jewelers was owned by business partners Andrew Gallagher and Harry Rofel. At the time, Gallagher and Rofel used a local repair shop owned by Jay G. Cohen, a goldsmith.
