Welcome to Thornton's Fine Jewelry, your trusted source for exquisite jewelry and exceptional service right here in Athens, Georgia since 1979.

Our journey began when Joe Thornton, a passionate rare coin collector in the 70s, decided to explore the world of precious metals. Together with his wife, Delores Thornton, they opened a modest shop that would eventually transform into Thornton's Fine Jewelry. From its inception, our family-owned and operated store has been committed to providing unparalleled convenience and warm, friendly service to the Athens community.

Leading the way at Thornton's Fine Jewelry is our General Manager, Christine Thornton Randall, daughter of Joe and Delores. With over two decades of experience in sales and service, Christine brings a wealth of expertise to our team. She holds prestigious accreditations from both the Gemological Institute of America and Jewelers of America, reflecting her commitment to excellence in the world of jewelry.

At Thornton's, we take pride in our deep-rooted connection to Athens and its residents. Over the years, we've had the privilege of helping countless individuals mark special moments in their lives with our carefully curated selection of jewelry. Whether you're seeking a timeless engagement ring, a custom-designed piece, or a unique gift for a loved one, we are here to assist you every step of the way.
