Even though he runs a nationally known business, it’s the small things that the President and CEO of Hamilton Jewelers cannot live without

By Sarah Emily Gilbert

You can’t go through Princeton without noticing the half-timbered, Tudor-style edifice that proudly sits on the corner of Witherspoon and Nassau Street. A former Princeton dormitory, the stunning building holds historical significance to the community. Thus, it’s only fitting that it houses Hamilton Jewelers, a business that’s brimming with Princeton pride, fine jewelry, luxury timepieces, and striking home décor.

Hamilton Jewelers’ favorable reputation is rooted in its mission to gain the trust and loyalty of clients by acting responsibly and working ethically. For the past 103 years, Hamilton Jewelers has upheld its name, partly because its business values are also its family values. Just ask CEO Hank Siegel, the third generation of the Siegel family to become president of the firm.

Working for Hamilton since he was a teen, Siegel has become an expert on both Princeton and the jewelry business. Since he was elected president of the company in 1993, Siegel has maintained the excellence of the Hamilton brand while enriching its connection with the Princeton community.  more
