Lee Dempsey is the owner and jeweler of R.L. Dempsey Company. The store offers Estate and Fine Jewelry, including modern pieces as well as those dating all the way back to the Victorian and Edwardian Eras. Mr. Dempsey began wholesaling and designing in the jewelry industry, over 35 years ago, and has since shifted his focus and expertise to buying and redesigning vintage pieces.

Why I do it:  Throughout my life I have had a passion for antique jewelry, so my shop has given me the opportunity to expand my hobby into a profession.
