Since 1946, Johnson Bros. Jewelry has been a landmark business in Jackson County. A fine jewelry boutique featuring estate jewelry, wedding registries, and curated gifts, the shop was founded by Hardy and Earline Johnson in Downtown Pascagoula. One of five stores of the same name owned and operated by his brothers throughout Mississippi and Alabama, it was truly a family business for Hardy. He specialized in watch and jewelry repair while Earline managed the retail section of the store and became the ‘face’ of Johnson Bros. Jewelry. Earline passed away
in spring of 2012 and her memory will live fondly in the hearts of many who shared their special occasions with her at the shop. For 76 years, Johnson Bros. Jewelry has continued to be the ‘family business’ Hardy and Earline envisioned, and is now owned by Debbie Willis who manages the store with her daughter Laura Willis Burrow.
