There’s much to cheer in this year’s “America’s Coolest Store’s” contest. This year, Instore has once again scoured the country in search of jewelers who are lifting the art of jewelry retail to new heights. And now, from a biggest-ever selection of more than 100 nominees, our expert panel of judges have selected the ten best. At the top of the list is Bigham Jewelers, the luxurious, but ultra-cool, store where customer service has never felt — or looked — so good. Then there’s J.R. Dunn Jewelers, whose Fort Lauderdale store is an awe-inspiring masterpiece of modern design. You can check out the modestly-sized, but still spectacular, Hyde Park, the new Phoenix branch of the successful Denver jeweler. Plus, you’ll get the chance to learn about Becky Beauchine Kulka’s passion for purple, or lose yourself in the marvelous fantasyland constructed by Eve Alfillé in her Albany, NY store. All in all, it’s a phenomenal group of winners that we’re sure will inspire every jeweler ... introducing America’s coolest stores for 2005.
