Walters & Hogsett Fine Jewelers Receives Town & Country Honors

Colorado-based Walters & Hogsett Fine Jewelers has been named one of America’s leading independent jewelers by Town & Country magazine, as listed in its June-July issue. The retailer, which opened its doors in 1983, has been recognized for its “distinguished service and fine collections.”

“As an authority on fine jewelry and timepieces, Town & Country is dedicated to bringing readers the absolute best resources in this all-important category,” said Jennifer Levene Bruno, publisher and chief revenue officer of Town & Country, in a press release. “T&C‘s leading independent jewelers are synonymous with the impeccable style and service that our audience demands. We are proud to welcome Walters & Hogsett to the country’s top tier of jewelry and watch retailers.”

This is not the first honor for the retailer, however, as Walters & Hogsett has been named Best in Boulder by Boulder’s Daily Camera for the past 12 years. “We are thrilled to receive this honor from Town & Country,” said store owner Mark Vieregg. “It has always been a pleasure to serve our clients and our community, but to be recognized for doing what we love to do is extraordinary.”
