Kruckemeyer & Cohn Is A Histortic Fixture In The Region
Kruckemeyer & Cohn Is A Fixture In The City Of Evansville.
Kruckemeyer & Cohn Was Founded in 1895
by Bryan Fox
As one Evansville’s oldest retailers, Kruckemeyer & Cohn is a fixture not only in the city of Evansville. but the region. Along with establishments such as Sterling Brewery and Berry Plastics, Kruckemeyer & Cohn can affectionately be described by city residents as one of “our businessesâ€. Recently, CCO had the pleasure of sitting down and talking Kruckemeyer & Cohn’s managing partner, Brent Beaman.
According to Beaman, fate is what brought him to Kruckemeyer & Cohn in the first place. Beaman’s family owns the neighboring business, Toys To Treasure. One morning, Beaman’s father and the former manager of Kruckemeyer & Cohn, were taking out the trash at the same time for their respective businesses. Beaman’s father asked the jeweler if he needed a salesman. It turns out he did. Beaman started his position as a sales associate not long after that fateful meeting in 2005, earning accolades through the years as the store’s top seller and becoming the store’s buyer and VP of purchasing by 2013. Also, if it wasn’t for that decade old chance meeting between the two business owners, Kruckemeyer & Cohn might not be around today. Roger Levi, whose family started Kruckemeyer & Cohn in 1895, passed away in 2010, leaving the store to his widow. The store continued to operate until 2015 when Mrs. Levi decided to close the store. Over the summer of that year inventory was liquidated and Kruckemeyer & Cohn, for the first and only time in its 122 year history, shut its doors.
Fortunately, fate stepped in once again and the closure didn’t last long. In fact, in only 2 months Beaman seized the opportunity to reopen the store. He took the initiative to buy the rights to the Kruckemeyer and Cohn name from Mrs. Levi, thereby continuing the Kruckemeyer and Cohn legacy.
As always, Kruckemeyer & Cohn specializes in GIA triple excellent cut diamonds. They are the most valuable and most specialized of diamonds. Essentially, these diamonds are considered by the Gemological Institute of America (the “Harvard†of diamonds) to be the best in the world. “If you don’t get a diamond that is cut well, you might as well buy a piece of glass,†says Beaman. He takes exceptional pride in being able to offer Kruckemeyer and Cohn’s customers diamonds that are so highly prized.
There is a lot of competition in the jewelry business. In fact there are roughly 12 jewelry stores within a 1 mile radius of Kruckemeyer & Cohn, which is currently located on Evansville’s east side at 944 N. Burkhardt Road. However, Kruckemeyer and Cohn is a cut above other fine jewelry stores. One thing that separates Kruckemeyer & Cohn from its competitors is no middle man. Most diamond purchases pass through 5-6 wholesaler hands before getting to the consumer. At Kruckemeyer & Cohn, stones come directly from the cutter to the store. Therefore prices are competitively priced in the local market as well as in the NYC diamond district. Another distinct difference is the value Kruckemeyer and Cohn holds for their customers. Their knowledgeable and courteous sales staff, as well as skilled craftsmen, are excited to assist you in any way possible.
So, if you’re looking for that perfect diamond for that very special occasion, Kruckemeyer & Cohn is the place to shop for excellent quality and affordability. Hours of operation are Monday thru Thursday 10 to 6, Friday 10-7 and Saturday 10-5. You will find knowledgeable and courteous sales staff as well as skilled craftsmen and you will be supporting part of Evansville’s historical retailer.
