London Jewelers Makes Moves In Manhattan
The Long Island retailer is opening its sixth location, as well as partnering with Roberto Coin on the brand’s newest boutique, in the Westfield World Trade Center.
New York--Independent retailer London Jewelers is taking on Manhattan for the first time with a store in the city’s newest transportation hub.
The company has opened a new retail store, its sixth overall, in New York City’s Oculus structure at the Westfield World Trade Center.
The Oculus structure was designed to represent a winged dove being released from a child’s hand. It is located within the Westfield World Trade Center shopping area, which also serves as a connection between the New Jersey PATH trains and New York City subways.

In addition to carrying a wide variety of brands, London Jewelers’ 2,400-square-foot Manhattan store also features Two by London, its exclusive bridal collection with brands like Forevermark and Tacori.
In honor of the opening, London Jewelers is giving 1,200 first responders and their families the chance to win a 0.90-carat diamond.
The opening of the new store comes just in time for the company’s 90th anniversary, celebrating four generations’ involvement and five store locations in Long Island, New York.

A number of other jewelry brands also have a presence at the shopping center/transportation center now, including Thomas Sabo, which has its eyes set on the U.S. and opened its first boutique in the country at Westfield this week, as well as new stores for both Pandora and Tous.
