Keys Jewelry Keys Jewelry is celebrating 65 years in Canton! Keys Jewelry is a third generation, family-owned-and-operated jewelry store that has been in business since 1951. Keys specializes in jewelry repairs, engraving, minor watch repairs, batteries, stems and crowns, crystals and appraisal updates. Keys was originally opened by Vernie L. and Ruby Key. It opened on the third floor of what is known in Canton as the Galt building. The business started with one showcase and Vernies workbench, which is where he did watch and clock repair. Vernie moved into a shop on the ground floor of the Galt building in the mid-50s. In 1956, a local bank building became available, and Vernie and Ruby bought the building and remodeled it for their jewelry store. They opened in their current location in mid-1957. Vernies grandson and current owner, Doug, came into the store after high school graduation in 1974, and he has worked at Keys Jewelry ever since. In 1979, Dougs dad, Marion, bought the store. Doug worked with his dad until he bought the store in July of 1998, at which time his wife, Judy, joined him in running the store. Doug and Judy completely remodeled the store just after purchasing it.
