Our Story
We are one of the oldest single family-run local jewelers in the Caribbean
Cardow Jewelers was first opened in 1954 by William Dowling as a store for travelers. Eight years later, Mr. Dowling formed a partnership with Claude Caron and created the name, “Car” for Caron and “Dow” for Dowling.
In the early years, the store specialized in perfumes, gifts, and jewelry. However, after that partnership, the store began to focus on jewelry alone. Pictured to the left, Mr. Dowling continued with the company until his death in 2003 and remained one of the most unassuming and well-loved entrepreneurs in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
His Cardow legacy survives as one of the oldest single family-run local jewelers in the Caribbean by his godson and by the third generation, pictured as children in the office, to the right.
