worthmore jewelers

All that glitters is not gold… Sometimes it’s rose gold, platinum, titanium, palladium, sterling silver, tungsten carbide, or semi-precious stones. Why limit yourself? Worthmore Jewelers offers it all. Pop into this anything-but-stuffy jewelry store and gallery for eclectic embellishments, bright baubles, and state-of-the-art art. The expert staff knows their stuff, and they hand-pick pieces for men and women with a flourish. This is not your typical jewelry store. Find unique and artful pieces alongside understated classics, whether you’re looking for a watch or an engagement ring.

Tip: The folks at Worthmore also know how to throw a good party! Stop by their ArtWalk event tonight, Friday, Nov. 4, for music, refreshments, and time with featured artist Walter Arnold, 7–9 p.m.

Extra tip: Shop here on Terrific Thursdays for special deals, snacks, and the artful #octopidecatur scavenger hunt!
