Gennaro Jewelers History
A Tradition of Excellence Since 1923
The Success Story of Gennaro Jewelers
In the Early 1900's
Erwin Von Der Heydt Was Born on a Small Farm in North Bellmore. As A Youngster He Was Very Mechanically Inclined And Became An Expert Watchmaker. His First Job Was With Two Brothers Whose Famous “Omega” Pocket Watch Later Became World-Renowned.
In 1923
Erwin and his wife Betty opened their distinctive jewelry and gift shop at 410 Bedford Avenue in Bellmore. As one of the finest jewelers on Long Island, Mr. Von der Heydt was contracted to install the clocks at the West Bathhouse at Jones Beach.
In 1962
Louis Gennaro, a graduate horologist (watchmaker) with 20 years of experience purchased Von Der Heydt Jewelers. Louis continued working for 6 more years maintaining the fine tradition of quality service, selection, and superior customer satisfaction. In 1968 the store became Gennaro Jewelers and Louis Gennaro continued to serve as the “premier” jeweler in the area.
In 1979
An Experienced Designer and Manufacturing Jeweler, Gary Hudes, Joined the Staff of Gennaro Jewelers and Became A Partner Shortly Thereafter. To Meet the Increasing Needs of His Customers, Hudes Expanded Gennaro Jeweler’s Manufacturing Capabilities In Addition To Their Design/Remount, Appraisal, and Repair Facilities.
