Frank Brown, Brown & Co. Jewelers
Brown & Co. Jewelers was founded in 1974 by Frank and Richard Brown. Brown and Company was built on the legacy of Frank Brown’s grandmother, Marie Burns. Marie founded the Jewel Box in 1923, located in the Grand Historic Davenport Hotel in Spokane, Washington. Brown & Co. is an independent, family-owned, and -operated business and has no plans to change. Frank Brown is the father of two daughters, who are both extremely passionate about all things Brown & Co. The girls grew up running around the stores, helping on the sales floor over the summer, and gift wrapping during the holidays. Frank’s daughter Amy Brown Greene officially joined the company in 2003, and his daughter Sara Beth Brown Prendeville came on board in 2013. Amy and Sara Beth are now vice presidents of Brown & Co. and love learning from and working alongside their father.
Brown & Co.’s two stores are located in Historic Roswell and the heart of Buckhead and are two of the largest independent jewelry stores in the country. Brown & Co. is a member of the Jewelers Vigilance Commission and has been a member of the American Gem Society (AGS) since 1976. Their knowledgeable and personable staff consists of multiple graduates of the Gemological Institute of America, master jewelers, and AGS-certified gemologists with vast backgrounds in the jewelry industry.
Brown & Co. offers everything from top designer fashion jewelry and high-end timepieces to the largest selection of diamond engagement rings in the city. The Brown & Co. custom design team is unlike any other, with world-renowned jewelers to turn your jewelry dreams into a reality. It’s Brown and Company’s ultimate pleasure to serve the great city of Atlanta.

Their mantra of putting “Service Above Self” is easy when you do it alongside some of your best friends.

This year the Rotary International theme is “Imagine Rotary” and Roswell Rotarians are using their imaginations to make the community and world a better place. With over 1.4 million members internationally focusing on water/sanitation, mental/child health, basic education/literacy, economic/community development, the environment, disease prevention/treatment and peace and conflict prevention/resolution, you can be assured that Rotary is changing lives in the community and the world.
Roswell Rotary’s signature event is the Aubrey Greenway Golf and the Hagan Cup Tennis Tournaments. These tournaments serve as their main fundraiser and engage our 240 members in a one-day event that includes a full day of golf, a tennis tournament, an after party, and silent/live auctions. The event typically raises over $150,000. Proceeds fund an annual Community Impact Project as well as provide grants to various charities during the Rotary year; helping organizations large and small fulfill their charitable missions.
Frank Brown invites you to suit up, help them give back to the community and join in the fun.
