R.E. Saxon Jeweler is a locally owned, independent jewelry store in Weirton, West Virginia, offering a carefully hand-picked selection of fine jewelry, stylish everyday pieces, watches, and thoughtful gifts. Rather than filling our cases with the ordinary, we select each piece for its beauty, quality, and distinctive character.

Our store carries jewelry and watches from a wide range of respected brands. We also specialize in diamond engagement rings and wedding bands, helping couples choose or create pieces that beautifully represent their story. Whether you are celebrating a milestone, searching for a meaningful gift, or simply treating yourself, our experienced team is here to offer knowledgeable guidance without pressure.

Owner Richard Saxon brings more than 40 years of jewelry-industry experience to the business. Alongside his trusted staff, he provides the attentive, personal service customers expect from a family-owned jeweler. Every member of our team is committed to helping you find the right piece and making your experience comfortable and enjoyable.

We offer a full range of jewelry services, including custom design, jewelry redesign, repairs, stone setting, engraving, appraisals, cleaning, ring sizing, and watch services. Whether caring for a treasured piece or creating something entirely new, our team will guide you through the process with knowledge and personal attention.

Jewelry has been a Saxon family tradition since 1970, when Richard's father, John A. Saxon, founded Saxon Jewelers. His stores served communities across the region, from Pittsburgh and Steubenville to Morgantown. Today, Richard proudly carries that legacy forward in Weirton.

Whatever brings you through our doors, you can expect a thoughtfully selected collection, experienced guidance, and the honesty and personal care that have defined the Saxon name for more than 55 years.
