how we got started......
Contempo Jewelers was founded in August of 1992, by Nicholas Labate. Nicholas was 24 years young at that time and had already had 7 years of retail jewelry experience. The only time spent away from the jewelry business was a four year period when he received his Bachelors of Business in Accounting from Hofstra University. This business degree would prove invaluable during his career as a jeweler and entrepreneur.
Feeling that there was a need for a upscale jeweler in his hometown, Nicholas opened this store in a newly built shopping center, Cherry Valley in West Hempstead, NY.
dedicated to quality and service......
Contempo has succeeded by keeping its product lines focused, its marketing strategy simple and its customer service impeccable! Custom orders and special orders are always welcome. If we don't have it, we'll get it. If we can't get it, we'll make it.
We carry a complete line of 14KT, 18KT and Platinum jewelry. Diamond jewelry including rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings are our specialty. Although we are authorized dealers of Seiko, Citizen, Movado, Accutron, Wittnauer and Anne Klein watches. We can also specially order just about any other name brand watch.
