Golden History Moment

Same store, different Eras: Tierney Jewelry Company, Wendell Plummer still using the Tierney name, and Plummer’s Jewelry – enlarge

74 Years Ago
The September 2, 1948 Colorado Transcript reported that Mr. and Mrs. James Tierney were selling their jewelry store after more than 30 years on Washington Avenue. The new owner was Wendell Plummer of Elgin, Illinois. An experienced watch repair man, Mr. Plummer had worked at the Elgin Watch company the previous 13 years. He and his wife had two sons–Tommy, age 11, and Robbie, age 5, and twin two year old daughters.

The store became “Plummers Jewelry” and remained in the family for 52 years. Wendell Plummer owned the store from 1948-1969, when he sold it to his oldest son, Tom. Tom and his wife Donna owned the store until 2000, when they sold it to Roger Tapia.

Roger renamed the business “Creekside Jewelers” and ran it until his retirement in 2021. The current owner is Tina Deliote.
