our journey from our humble beginnings in the late 1870s to our current status as a community cornerstone of luxury and service. It is a heartfelt tribute to the generations of family who have demonstrated invaluable dedication, determination, and guidance, all of whom have been our inspiration. This furtive look into our past predicates our future. In 2020, Chad’s son Jesse joined the family business, marking the beginning of the fifth generation for Alson Jewelers. Jesse felt he was destined for this, always probing and interested in all things jewelry since he was a little boy. Jesse attended the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) a year after college graduation, and after completing his Graduate Gemologist de- gree, worked for a diamond distributor and subsequently worked sell- ing luxury timepieces for a well-known watch boutique in New York City. “Joining the family business was a natural progression for me. After earning my Graduate Gemologist Degree and gaining relevant work experience in New York City, my focused goal of working along- side my family came to fruition,” Jesse said. Chad’s son Kyle came on board in May 2024. Kyle graduated with an Informatics & Computer Science degree, but after several years in that field, realized his dream of working alongside his dad and brother. After attaining his Graduate Diamond & Colored Gemstone Degree at the GIA, and prior to his return to Cleveland, he worked at a promi- nent multi-generational family jewelry business in New York, where he learned about the inner workings of being part of a family business. Kyle echoes his brother’s sentiments. “Becoming part of that fifth genera- tion is something special,” he said. “While I thought I would go a differ- ent route with data analytics, it was hard to stay away from diamonds, watches, and jewelry — things I’d grown up around and known about my entire life. It feels good to be back.” Continuing tradition, David’s son Jason joined the team in Sep- tember 2024. After working in commercial real estate in New York City, Jason earned his Graduate Gemologist Degree from the GIA and worked for a luxury jewelry and watch store in New York City before returning to Cleveland. “I gained a lot of knowledge and experience during my time in New York, all of which prepared me to join the fam- ily business,” Jason said. “It’s great to be back in my hometown and I’m excited to see our Alson business grow.” David’s son Matthew, who also earned his Graduate Gemologist
degree from the GIA, recently moved back to Cleveland after spend- ing time in New York working for an online jewelry and watch auction company. “Coming home was always something I wanted to do. I am proud and honored to carry on the family tradition.” In addition to exploring our new showroom and rich family history, we invite you to check out our new rooftop terrace—an inviting space that is perfect for private events, romantic engagements, or simply ad- miring your sparkling new diamond in the natural light. “It’s all about the shopping experience,” Chad said. “we aim to not only allow our guests to have a fulfilling experience while in the store, but also to leave with the feeling of just having been at a close friend’s home.” So come join us at Alson Jewelers, where tradition meets innovation, and every visit promises something extraordinary.
