Our Story
View Our StoryThe Bailey’s Fine Jewelry story is one steeped in family, tradition, innovation and excellence. We are blessed that Bailey’s has become synonymous with quality, trust and superior service all the while adhering to our humble roots and fun-loving approach to the jewelry business.

From the early days in eastern North Carolina where “Big Clyde” Bailey and “Mama Ann” Bailey began arose a spirit that is alive in every Bailey’s location today. Their friendly approach and willingness to think outside the box created a unique culture that is Bailey’s Fine Jewelry.

Continuing in their tradition, Clyde Jr. and his wife Jane built on the strong foundation of trust and loyalty Clyde’s parents helped to create. We would soon see that Clyde had big dreams for Bailey’s and in the next two decades under his direction he would bring Bailey’s Boxes to two new cities—Raleigh and Greenville.

Bailey’s is now entering into the third generation of the Bailey’s family business, Trey Bailey; a graduate gemologist continues the tradition. With Trey, come fresh new ideas and selections that continue to make Bailey’s Fine Jewelry North Carolina’s premier destination jewelry store.

For almost six decades we have been inspired by our patrons to excel in every aspect of our business. From our service, which includes the finest custom design, watch and jewelry repair, appraisal and bridal registry, to our extraordinary selection, which includes works from today’s most esteemed designers, exquisite diamonds, fashion accessories, fine timepieces, and wonderful gifts—there’s simply no place like Bailey’s.
