Dear Visitor,
Welcome to the Dennis J. Datlton Ltd. online catalog. Here, in addition
to selections from our permanent collection, like Wedding and Engagement
Rings, you'll also find Weekly Specials and other items updated regularly
to bring you high quality jewelry at low prices.
The Bowery and Canal Street is the center of New York's wholesale jewelry
district. Before the idea of a discount store was even thought of, the entire
Lower East Side was one huge discount center. People bought clothing for
half price on Orchard Street, wedding dresses and fabrics on Grand Street,
while the Bowery was the center for jewelry and lighting.
Discounting on the Bowery is not the result of a business decision but a
hundred year old tradition.
Like many of the jewelers on the Bowery, I came to this area as a teenager
to run errands and sweep floors. The excitement was intoxicating making
it impossible to do anything but be a Bowery Jeweler.
Today, one sees jewelry sales in the paper every day. Unfortunately, though,
buying these "sale" items doesn't save consumers money. The necklace
on sale was made for the sale; with the lower price comes lower quality.
