James Durbin Jewelry Design is located between highway 40/64 and I44 in Kirkwood, Missouri [the southwest portion of St. Louis County] (View Map). James Durbin Jewelry Design is owned by James and Martha Durbin and has been in business since 1978.

The business began as a Southwestern Art and Jewelry wholesaler selling to boutiques, jewelers, and western stores. In the early 1980’s, the focus changed to gemstones and diamonds with a reputation for carrying excellent quality fine jewelry. In 1991, James Durbin opened the store in Kirkwood, and it has grown and developed to be recognized as one of the premier custom design jewelry stores in the St. Louis metropolitan area. James Durbin Jewelry Design expanded and moved to 114 West Jefferson Avenue in 2001.

The new store involved a complete remodel. James and Martha’s vision was to create a place that provided the elegance of the 40’s with modern features, which would not be intimidating to clients. The three-terraced ceiling with indirect lighting was one of the most important features to the overall store design. The curved glass cherry wood cases also complement and fulfill the elegant atmosphere.

 In 2002, the downtown Kirkwood Junction Special Business District awarded the Durbin’s an Enhancement Award for their renovation and remodel. As well, James Durbin Jewelry Design has professional memberships in Jewelers of America, the Missouri Jewelers Association, American Gem Trade Association, and American Craft Council. In 2004, James Durbin Jewelry Design was recognized as an Outstanding Small Business in The Kirkwood-Des Peres Area Chamber of Commerce.
