Merkley Kendrick Jewelers Named Small Business of the Year by Louisville Business First

We are incredibly proud to announce that Merkley Kendrick Jewelers has been named Small Business of the Year by Louisville Business First as part of their 2025 Family Business Awards.

This award recognizes standout family-owned businesses that demonstrate excellence in strategic planning, leadership development, community involvement, and a healthy, inclusive workplace culture — and we’re honored to be counted among them.

As Louisville’s oldest jeweler, our story began back in 1832, but our heart has always remained the same: to serve people with honesty, integrity, and care. We’ve had the privilege of being part of your life’s most meaningful moments — engagements, anniversaries, milestones — and we don’t take that trust for granted.

Why This Award Means So Much

What makes this recognition truly special is that it's not just about the business — it's about the people behind it.

It’s about our team, who show up each day with passion, knowledge, and heart.
It’s about our customers, whose loyalty and love have kept our doors open for nearly two centuries.
And it’s about our community, which has supported us through every chapter of our story.

We share this award with each and every one of you.

What’s Next for Merkley Kendrick?

While we’re pausing to celebrate this moment, we’re also looking ahead. We remain committed to delivering the exceptional service, craftsmanship, and experience that got us here — and to continuing to evolve while honoring the legacy we’ve built.

We’re excited for what’s to come — and we’re so glad you’re on this journey with us.

Thank you for being part of the Merkley Kendrick story.

With gratitude,
The Merkley Kendrick Jewelers Family
I Do, Since 1832
