Beautiful Jewelry

Albert F. Rhodes Jewelry, located on Floral Parkway just up from Independence Mall, has been a Wilmington institution since 1948. This company, a Rolex authorized dealer, has some of the finest diamond jewelry in the Wilmington area.

Headed today by Wayne Rhodes, you can even get an education if you need it so that you can do true comparison shopping. Ask any of staff and they will explain the four “Cs” to you and it is critical that you understand how stones are graded before you invest in diamond jewelry. Once you learn how important color and clarity are in diamonds, you’ll begin to understand how superb the quality of the diamond jewelry sold here is.

The store also carries china, silver and crystal giftware, making it easy to find the perfect gift whether you’re shopping for yourself, your fiancé, your wedding attendants or your mother.
