A familiar face in the local business community is starting an exciting new chapter. Derek Bailey, owner of the former 257 Buy Sell Trade, has opened Bailey’s Jewelers at 3142 State Route 257 in Seneca.
After more than a decade of buying and selling a wide range of pre-owned merchandise, Derek has decided to focus his expertise on what he’s most passionate about—jewelry. A diamond-certified professional through the Gemological Institute of America, Derek is bringing years of experience and trusted service to his new store.
Bailey’s Jewelers will offer a full line of fine jewelry, including engagement rings, bridal sets, men’s jewelry, and colored stones. Customers can also request custom pieces or special orders. In addition, the store will continue services like jewelry repair, polishing, watch battery replacements, and buying gold and silver.
“I am excited to embark on this new business endeavor where I can provide personalized service,” said Derek. “I want to make everyone feel like they’re the most important customer when they walk in—offering the best in both quality and service.”
This transition marks an exciting evolution for Derek’s business, with a renewed focus on quality, craftsmanship, and customer care. Be sure to stop in, see the new space, and find something timeless to take home.
Congratulations, Derek!
