The business began when Billy's grandfather ran a shop offering both optical and jewelry services, and during World War II that store made eyeglasses for the Navy. When son Bill Lawson took the helm, he focused the business on jewelry alone. Bill and a partner opened St. Matthews Jewelers during the early 1980s in the Wallace Center, then moved to its present location in 1988. After Bill's death, Billy took over, assisted by his wife Kelly, Chad Davis, and jewelry designer Barbara "Bahbie" Cruz. The store replaces about 25 watch batteries daily and provides free ring cleaning and inspection. Customers whom Billy's father served still come in, as do first-timers, for work ranging from repairs to creating pieces from scratch. The store sits on Brownsboro Rd, a short walk from Chenoweth Elementary School and close to the Brownsboro / Country and Brownsboro / Chenoweth bus stops. Chenoweth Lane is about 0.2 miles away, and the Lusk Family Amphitheater is roughly 0.6 miles from the shop. St Matthews Jewelers has built an established track record on a large base of customer reviews, and its 4.20 rating reflects a solid reputation among the customers it has served. More than four decades of buying, selling, repairing, and designing jewelry in St. Matthews have made it a familiar stop for engagement and wedding rings, watch service, and estate jewelry.
