About us

How it began...

What started as a hobby has grown into one of Ohio's most unique full service jewelry stores.

Started as a hobby in 1969, Allison's Custom Jewelry has grown into one of Ohio's largest and definitely most unique full service jewelry stores.

Allison's Custom Jewelry was started by Jon and Libby Allison in their garage in Sidney, Ohio. Six years later, the garage became too small and they moved to their present country location at 104 East Mason Road just outside of Sidney.

The building that now houses Allison's Custom Jewelry is a 105-year-old rebuilt barn with an addition that is referred to as the "Diamond Mine". The walls of the "Diamond Mine" are sparkling quartz representing diamonds. A stream runs through the mine depicting one of the ways diamonds are mined.

A visit to Allison's is truly a unique experience. Jon and Libby Allison are proud to have their sons Red and Dean and daughter Dana along with Red's wife Cheri involved in the business. We invite you to visit our beautiful showroom and meet our family.
