Our Family History

Ferro has been synonymous with fine jewelry for 74 years.

Kelley Ferro's grandfather, Nicholas Ferro Sr, immigrated to the US from Naples, Italy. In 1947, he started his own jewelry manufacturing company based in Newark, NJ. He grew Essex Jewelers to be one of the leading ring designers and manufacturers in the country, employing over 60 top jewelry artisans. This passion for quality jewelry was passed down to his son. 

Kelley's father, Nicholas Ferro, successfully carries on the family business with over 30 years running his estate and fine jewelry store, N.T. Ferro Jewelers, an icon in the charming town of Woodstock, VT. His customers come from all over the world for his expertise and the store's dedication to sourcing high quality pieces. He has designed hundreds of pieces for his loyal customers and makes them on site. 

Both of Kelley's brothers have continued the Ferro legacy in jewelry. Her brother Bryan founded Ferro Jewelers in Stowe, Vermont and her brother Kevin founded the jewelry brand Signitas.

One motto rings true for all generations of the Ferro family: commitment to quality over all else.
