Town & Country Jewelers Closes on Main

, Town & Country Jewelers owner Gary Dietz downscaled his Edmonds business by moving across the street from 408 Main St. to 403 Main St., the latter which became available when Mu.Shoe closed.

Now, Dietz has closed up shop for good in Edmonds after six years. He's accepted a job with Omega Watch Company to manage the Omega Watch Boutique at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in downtown Seattle at 411 University St.

"This was an opportunity I simply could not pass up," Dietz said. "I will begin this new phase of my 37 years in the fine jewelry business in late August. I have enjoyed owning and operating Town & Country Jewelers for the past 16 years, and would like to thank the Edmonds community for their support the past six."

The Omega Watch Company, a boutique, opened in December 2010 and follow similar boutiques in Paris, Roma, Singapore, Los Angles, Chicago, New York City and elsewhere.

"I would also like to invite all my clients to visit the beautiful Omega Boutique to see the entire product range, including the four iconic watch lines, Speedmaster, Seamaster, Constellation and De Ville, as well as Omega's wide selection of fine jewelry and leather goods."

There is word that an old Edmonds favorite will be moving back into Town & Country's original location. Confirmation should come shortly.
