Hudepohl Jewelers

Hudepohl Jewelers is a jewelry store in Cincinnati, Ohio, founded by Don and Rita Hudepohl in 1956 and now led by their son Barry. The store specializes in diamonds, fine jewelry, and custom jewelry design, with an emphasis on gold and silver pieces featuring precious gemstones. Hudepohl Jewelers carries necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings, and is staffed by three in-house expert gemologists who guide and educate customers through the selection process. The business holds a 5.00 rating based on 17 reviews. Barry Hudepohl, the current CEO and gemologist, began working in the family business as a sales associate in 1984 under his father Don. Don Hudepohl originally learned watch repair following his service in WWII and combined that craft with Rita's love of jewelry to build a business centered on quality and customer service. The original storefront, called Rie-Don Jewelers, opened at DeSales Corner in East Walnut Hills. In 1972, the store relocated to downtown Cincinnati on the 7th floor of the Provident Building at the corner of 7th and Vine Streets, operating under the name Don Hudepohl Jewelers. The current address places Hudepohl Jewelers on East 7th Street in downtown Cincinnati, near Vine Street and West 7th Street. The Aronoff Center for the Arts sits about 0.1 miles away, and nearby public artworks include Martha, the Last Passenger Pigeon and Metrobot. Hudepohl Jewelers keeps Monday through Friday hours from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Saturday hours from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, closing on Sundays. With nearly seven decades of continuous family operation and a perfect customer rating, the store stands as one of the longest-running jewelers in downtown Cincinnati.
