New Columbus Jewelry Store Jeff Johnson & Co. Hosts Holiday Open House

There's a new jewelry store in town, and it's hosting a holiday open house to celebrate.

Jeff Johnson & Co. opened its doors at 5025 Arlington Centre Blvd. in November. Owner Jeff Johnson, whose family launched the Diamond Cellar, spent years planning his own store, which specializes in custom-made pieces and repurposing old favorites. They also have a selection of keepsakes and engagement rings.

The open house runs from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 11. Guests can enjoy champagne, dessert and browsing the store's selection.

Three special holiday items will also be on display-all designed by Johnson and his father. They include a nativity scene made of 14-karat white and yellow gold, a Christmas tree that took more than 1,100 hours to make (adorned with 516 pearls) and a wreath made of 14-karat green and white gold and a total of 378 diamonds.
