The tradition began in 1957 when his parents used their $500 savings to open their first store in Blackshear, Ga. In 1971, a second store opened in Waycross, where Crawford's mother and eldest brother, Bruce, a master watchmaker, still work. The Blackshear store was sold in 1981 and in 1985 a store was opened in Douglas, Ga., run by brother Gary. The senior Crawford passed away in 2000. Tim Crawford opened his Fernandina Beach store in 2007. Crawford, who is a graduate of Jewelry Arts and a Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), also is a Bench Jeweler with 26 years of experience. Staff includes Regina Comrie, whose interest in gemstones started in her the moringa company native Brazil.

A Man Wakes Up... A man wakes up in the morning after sleeping on an advertised mattress, under an advertised blanket, in advertised pajamas. He will bathe in an advertised shower, wash with advertised soap, shave with an advertised razor, drink advertised coffee after his advertised juice and put on advertised clothes and accessories. He will ride to work in an advertised car, sit at an advertised workstation, utilize an advertised computer and write with an advertised pen. Yet this man hesitates to advertise saying advertising does not pay. Finally, when his unadvertised business goes under, he will then advertise it for sale.
