Our History
In 1969 Bernard Olliff retired from the U.S. Air Force. Born in Register, Georgia, Bernard wanted to go back to his hometown. In 1970, he and his wife Pat opened “Bernard’s Watch and Clock Repair” in the garage in the back of his home. Bernard learned watch and clock repair by taking correspondence courses. He repaired many clocks for his clients. After carrying watches and clocks, Bernard and Pat decided to carry diamonds and jewelry.
In 1996, Bernard’s moved to our flagship location on Highway 80 in front of Lowe’s. We enjoy greeting our customers as friends. Our customers are glad we have a unique sense of style that expresses the local area. From baby rings to bridal rings we offer a great selection of gifts. From groom to father we have the perfect gift for the gentlemen. All of the items that we sell are hand selected.
In 2006, Pat Olliff passed away and in 2014, Bernard Olliff passed away. They are both greatly missed. Upon his death, Bernard left the store to three of his employees – Pam Reed, Polly Schuman, and his niece Pam Anderson. Bernard’s continues the great service and loyalty to our customers at our store on Highway 80.
