Generations of Family Jewelers Sharing Your Love Stories

The First Generation

In 1898 Alfonso Corbo took a leap of faith and brought his wife and eight children from Naples, Italy to New Jersey, USA. A watchmaker by trade, Alfonso expanded his offerings by bringing his wares and services to his customers, door to door. And so began the Corbo family tradition of selling fine jewelry and services — Corbo Jewelers in America — a tradition that has been maintained through five generations!

The Second Generation

Six of Alphonso’s eight children continued the family tradition. In around 1918, Alphonso’s sons Mike, Dick and Nick followed in their father’s footsteps of bringing their wares and services right to the customer, going door-to-door, each in different parts of Bergen, Passaic and Essex counties. Customers became friends, some almost like family. Later, Alphonso’s daughters Julia, Mae and Pep opened the first Corbo Jewelers store, on Warren St. in Newark, New Jersey, moving the store to Bloomfield in 1945.

The Third and Fourth Generations

In 1950, Michael’s son Alan joined Corbo Jewelers and opened the company’s second store in Clifton. Over the years, Corbo Jewelers grew, and so did Alan’s family. His children – Cathy, Stephen, Alan Jr., and Michael – joined the team, and the company opened stores in Toms River, Rockaway, Paramus, and other locations, at one point expanding to twelve brick-and-mortar locations.
