December 2010: Farr's Jewelers



More Than a Girl’s Best Friend

By By Mary Sturgill


December 2010: Farr's Jewelers

If you are looking for Jewelry, cameras or electronics with the quality you want, you don’t have to travel far.  You just have to go to Farr’s.  And it’s been that way for over 50 years.  Dirk Farr’s family opened the store in 1960 with jewelry and appliances. So you can bet they’ve seen the ups and downs in the economy and they’ve seen other businesses come and go. So, what’s the difference between Farr’s and the others?  “It’s because of the long-time customers,” says Dirk, that Farr’s is able to weather the storms, that and “we give a quality product at a fair price.” 

Farr’s is known for its jewelry.  They have the largest selection and variety of wedding sets in the area.  So whatever your price range, Farr’s is sure to have what you want or is able to order it.  The sales staff is educated and ready to teach you about the four C’s, the most important thing when buying that ring. They want you to know what you are getting and will help you get the best quality for your budget. Farr’s buys their settings direct from the manufactures. They hand-pick every diamond from one of the largest exporters in Israel. Their in-store jeweler is on hand to help you create the look you want. But Farr’s is just not all about engagement rings.  Whatever the occasion, I am sure you will be able to find just the right special something for that special someone.  From anniversary bands to necklaces the long-time employees will help you make the right choice. 

I’m sure you have seen their motto on a billboard or heard it in an ad; “Farr better quality at a Farr better price.”  Overall Dirk says, “We give our customers a better value.  Quality for quality we’ll save people money.”  They watch the competitor’s prices and will match them if they don’t already beat them. But price is not the most important thing, that’s why the sales staff begins by talking to customers up front to get to the heart of what they really want.  They ask questions like, “What would you like to use it for, what do you expect to get out of it and what do you expect for performance.” You won’t feel any of the high-pressure sales tactics you might experience other places.  The questions are to help the sales staff help you make the right decision for what you want.  “We believe that the more our customer knows, the more they will buy from us,” Says Dirk.

They started with jewelry and small appliances and now Farr’s is the largest Nikon dealer in the area. The reason for that is the camera sales staff knows its business and uses that knowledge to fit you with the perfect shutter bug setup and teaches you how to use it if you need them to. Warrantees on cameras and electronics vary with the manufacturer, but Farr’s has a 30-day return policy as part of their customer service package. 

In the beginning, Farr’s had a selection of electronics to get foot traffic for the jewelry but they don’t have to rely on that anymore. Their quality products and customer service keeps customers coming back. Farr’s is now serving the grandchildren of original customers.  And their goal for the future, Dirk says, “We want to be their family jeweler for generations to come.”
