While serving in the South Pacific as a naval officer during WWII, Carmen Mignoni corresponded with his wife Carolyn, telling her to buy a building on Mill Street in Bristol because he wants to open a jewelry store when he returns. Carolyn bought a building that dates to 1781 at 200 Mill Street. In 1947 Carmen and Carolyn opened Mignoni Jewelry. Now celebrating the 75th year of Mignoni Jewelry, Carol and her sister Rosemary run the business.
Mignoni Jewelry’s main focus is on fine jewelry, in all price ranges. Much of their business is custom work, where they can make or repurpose jewelry. They work with customers to help them come up with ideas that can be turned into fine jewelry. They have lots of stocked jewelry, much that is imported from Europe. And they also sell inexpensive fashion jewelry. Gifts are everywhere at Mignoni Jewelry. They sell figurines, including Byers’ Choice, and they have imported gifts from Ireland and Italy. They sell crystal, cameos from Italy, and so many interesting and novel gifts that it is a joy to shop there. Mignoni is open Tuesday to Friday 12-6 p.m. and Saturday 12-5 p.m. Closed Sunday & Monday, except by appointment. Mignoni is located at 200 Mill Street, Bristol, PA; 215-788-3243.
