Just north of Cincinnati, off the Interstate 275 Loveland-Madeira Road exit, a two-lane road curves through the rolling hills along the Little Miami River. It snakes its way to Loveland’s bustling historic downtown district, which has experienced a resurgence in recent years. Popular locally owned restaurants, a busy craft brewery and thriving shops like Welling & Co. Jewelers line the main street along a popular stretch of the Little Miami Bike Trail.
Celebrating four generations of Wellings and 100 years in the business this year, Welling & Co. has long been a trusted fixture in the Cincinnati jewelry scene. The company was founded in 1920 by Richard Welling in Lockland, Ohio. It is the oldest family-owned jewelry store in Cincinnati, with the Welling family as owners since their opening a century ago. Welling & Co. was founded with the desire to serve the people of Greater Cincinnati. Since the beginning, Welling & Co. has served the community with expertise in jewelry repair, watch repair and the sale of fine jewelry. Many customers today even remember a grandparent shopping at the original location.
The company, which celebrated its downtown Loveland location’s grand opening in August, also has a popular location in Olde West Chester. “My dad and I were enamored with the rejuvenation of Historic Loveland,” says Daniel Welling. “Growing up in the area made us familiar with the location and the love we have for Loveland. Both our locations are very unique and different from traditional jewelry stores.
We focus on a more inviting atmosphere for the customer experience. Our Loveland decor is focused on mid-century modern with polished concrete and exposed brick walls. We have been very successful in West Chester and look forward to growing with the Loveland community.”
Welling & Co. carries everything from timeless gold and diamond jewelry and custom-designed pieces to affordable fashion jewelry with lines like Kendra Scott and Uno de 50. With the latest technology and expert knowledge, Welling and Co. guides customers through the jewelry buying process and helps you select the perfect piece of jewelry for any occasion.
