Courthouse Jewelers at Courthouse Plaza is now closed “permanently,” according to a tipster and online business listings.
The shop on 2200 Clarendon Blvd bought and sold jewelry and was known for its watch repairs.
“It was a venerable institution,” said the tipster. “Bet they changed thousands of watch batteries for county staff over the years.”
As of today (Thursday) the inside of the small shop is empty. The only light left on is the white, block-lettering sign on the awning outside.
The shop’s website also appears to have shuttered. Courthouse Jewelers’ owner could not be reached, the shop’s phone number has been disconnected and its Facebook page has been inactive since 2012.
