COLONIE – Wolf Road has welcomed a new neighbor into the Town of Colonie: Frank Adams Jewelers. The fourth-generation, family-owned business officially closed its Stuyvesant Plaza storefront on Tuesday, Jan. 16, after being located in the shopping plaza for 28 years.
The 101-year-old business has built a new storefront at its new location at 144 Wolf Road. The jewelry store will reopen to the public on Thursday, Feb. 1, and on Thursday, Feb. 8, will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate at 10:30 a.m.
Frank Adams Jewelers was established in 1922 by Frank H. Adams as a small watch repair shop in Albany. For over a century, the business has grown to become one of the Capital Region’s retailers of designer jewelry as well as luxury Swiss timepiece brands. The store is also an Official Rolex and Tudor jeweler and represents other luxury brands such as David Yurman, Kwiat Mine to Shine, Roberto Coin, Ippolita and Jade Trau.
The store has been passed down from generation to generation. Currently, it is run by Kimberly Adams Russell, the granddaughter of the store’s namesake.
