About Us
We are a family run jewelry store that has a very hands on approach to our customer service. The store is run by Edie & Greg Salmon, who are second and third generation Jewelers.
The store was originally founded by Ken Roush, who started Ken's Jewelers in 1955 in Cutt Bank, Montana. He moved to Newberg in 1979 and started Ken's Jewelers in 1980.
Edie Salmon, Owner & Daughter of Founder Ken Roush
Edie has lived in Newberg since 1977 and is married to Steve Salmon. Edie joined her Dad at the store in 1990. She often jokes that she was not hired but instead simply instructed to report to work since her Dad was short-handed at the time. However, once she arrived, she found she never wanted to leave as the love of jewelry making had been passed on to her.
Greg Salmon, Owner
Greg is a Newberg Native, graduating from the Newberg High School class of 2005 with an academic scholarship to Oregon State University where he studied Electrical Engineering before returning home to Newberg.
Greg married his middle school sweetheart, Jena in 2008 and they have 2 beautiful children, Penny & Layton.
Greg entered the business with his mom, Edie, in 2010 and soon discovered his calling in life ... to be a part of this 33 year old family run business built by his Grandfather & Mother.
