Minor Jewelry - Custom and Repair

Minor Jewelry has represented four generations of watchmaking heritage since Henry Minor first started the family trade in Alabama during the 1930s. Jesse Minor Jr. continues that legacy today at the shop's location on 12th Avenue South in Nashville's 12th South neighborhood, where Minor Jewelry has served the community since 1986. Watches sit at the center of the shop's identity alongside its jewelry business: Minor Jewelry sells pre-owned Rolex, Zeppelin, and other estate timepieces, plus watch accessories, and offers jewelry repair and restoration as defined services alongside appraisals, engraving, and custom design work. That combination of vintage and pre-owned watch sales with an in-house repair bench reflects the shop's roots in actual watchmaking rather than treating watches as a secondary jewelry-store product line. Engagement rings round out the rest of the business, including a 3D ring builder that lets customers visualize and customize a ring's details from home before finalizing a design in the Nashville showroom with Jesse and his team. Diamond education and jewelry care guidance are also part of what the shop offers customers working through a purchase or a repair decision. For 12th South-area customers with a pre-owned Rolex or estate watch to buy, sell, or have serviced, Minor Jewelry's four-generation family history in watchmaking — carried forward from its 1930s Alabama origins to its decades-long Nashville presence — gives it a depth of watch-specific experience that a general jewelry store typically doesn't have.
