Wade Jewelers of Daphne

Wade Jewelers of Daphne is a jewelry store in Daphne, AL. The shop serves customers across the Eastern Shore with a full range of jewelry services, including custom design, bridal sets, watch batteries, consignment jewelry, and engagement rings made by pairing loose diamonds with platinum, 14K yellow gold, or 14K white gold settings. The store also guides buyers through the four Cs of diamonds - color, cut, clarity, and carat weight. It holds a rating of 4.60 based on customer reviews.

The business is family-owned and operated. Owner Edgar "Eddie" Wade began his jewelry career at age 16 by cleaning a local shop until there was nothing left to clean, then begged the jewelers for a chance to light a torch on a real piece. He learned ring sizing and necklace welding under master jeweler William Smith and counts Tim, Travis, and Millard Griffin among those who gave him his first job in the trade. Additional training in fancy-shaped stone setting came through a few focused classes, with the rest of his expertise built through hands-on work. Eddie moved to the Eastern Shore in 1998, managing a family-owned Daphne store before opening Wade Jewelers in 2001 on a shoestring budget at Jubilee Pointe Shopping Center. He and his wife, Hope Wade, now use CAD/CAM design alongside traditional techniques.

The store sits on US-98 W in the Magnolia Place Shopping Center, about 0.1 miles from Jordan Brook and 0.4 miles from Daphne Fire Station #2. United States Sports University is roughly half a mile away.

With more than two decades serving Daphne and a 4.60 rating reflecting steady customer approval, Wade Jewelers of Daphne remains a fixture of the Eastern Shore jewelry scene.
