Sollberger's: Curator of Exceptional Jewelry and Timepieces (1111 Highland Colony Parkway E., Ridgeland) in Ridgeland is closing its doors after 37 years in business in Madison County. Jaki Cowan, a family friend of the store's original owners, Jacques and Edith Sollberger, has owned the business for the last six years.

“After much deliberation, I have made the difficult decision to close Sollberger's,” Cowan said in a release. “It has been six years since I became the owner of Sollberger's, and it has been a whirlwind process full of humility, growth, excitement and love. I am so grateful (to) the community that welcomed us with open arms, and to Jacques and Edith Sollberger, the previous owners, for being the very best mentors for which anyone could hope.”

Beginning today, Monday, Nov. 9, the store is hosting a going out of business sale with up to 70% off on the shop's entire selection of diamond jewelry, loose diamonds, gold, precious gemstones and watches. The sale will last until all of the store's inventory is sold.

Sollberger's is maintaining a strict sanitizing schedule that it will follow throughout every business day, the release says, and will also enforce social distancing and limited store entrance and occupancy due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The store's hours of operation are from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. For more information, call 601-853-1777 or visit sollbergers.com.
