In 1992, Corinne and Rich Meyer opened Vintage Coin and Jewelry in a strip mall hidden in a corner of Oshkosh. They flourished by building a reputation of trust and they’ve always worked at keeping that trust. In 1999 they moved to a new building in one of the busiest corners in town, right off highway 41. The name was then changed to Affordable Elegance and then after several people mistook this name for a floral shop or a dress shop, later they decided to shorten it to A&E Jewelers.

As the jewelry side of the business began to grow, Rich pursued further education and received accreditation from the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) as well as Jewelers of America.  Corinne specialized in repairs and custom goldsmithing.

The business has now grown Into multiple locations throughout Wisconsin.  The combination of A&E Jeweler’s products and services have proven to be a great formula for making many customers very happy.

Quintin is now involved and is enjoying the many aspects of the business.  He is a world champion power lifter and is very driven to succeed in everything he does. He is confident that A&E Jewelers will continue to grow as a great family business.
