The History

Family owned and operated for over 50 years, W. Kodak Jewelers was founded by Woody Kodak. He got his start in jewelry along the boardwalks of Atlantic City, sparking his love and appreciation for both quality jewelry and outstanding customer service.

Following his graduation from ASU, the second generation of Kodaks, Brad and Creighton realized that something was missing from the bustling City of Hoboken: a luxury jeweler. They decided to open their own luxury jewelry boutique downtown at 60 Newark Street, prior to expanding uptown to the flagship store at 1123 Hudson Street. Both locations have remained open to this day, offering high-quality watches and jewelry to the community.
