Rosnov Jewelers, located at 320 York Road Jenkintown, was featured on Thursday by The Philadelphia Business Journal as the business approaches its 120th year in business.
The 100% family-owned shop was founded in 1906 by Russian immigrant Mendele Rosnov and was originally located on Philadelphia’s Jewelers Row. Ownership is now in its fifth generation. From their website:
Mitchell Rosnov, the 3rd generation, moved the Store to Jenkintown, a suburb of Philadelphia. In Jenkintown, Mitchell was one of the first jewelers ever to custom design and manufacture jewelry on the premises. Also, Mitchell was one of the first Gemologists certified by the G.I.A. in the area. David Rosnov, the 4th generation jeweler, expanded the operation with his expertise in jewelry design, manufacturing, and his knowledge of diamonds and gemstones. David’s philosophy has been to produce an environment that creates prestigious fine jewelry coupled with unmatched superb customer service.
Scott Rosnov, the 5th generation, has now entered the realm of Rosnov Jewelers. Scott has already completed the required Gemological certification that all generations since Mitchell Rosnov have achieved. His vision for the future is simple; provide great jewelry with quality materials and excellent customer service, as Rosnov has done for over 108 years.
“All I know is jewelry. It’s what I was raised into. It’s what my grandfather taught my dad. My dad taught me,” Scott Rosnov (pictured below) told The Journal. “We really don’t care about the sale. We just care about people being happy.”


The shop was recently named a Family Owned Business Awards honoree by The Journal.
In 2026, Rosnov Jewelers will celebrate its milestone anniversary with a series of events, The Journal said. For more on the business and the Rosnov family, you can visit their website and Facebook page.
