The First Generation: A Bold Beginning
In 1898, Alfonso Corbo took a bold step that would shape his family’s future for generations. Leaving Naples, Italy, Alfonso brought his wife and eight children to New Jersey, USA. A watchmaker by trade, he began offering his skills, including watch repair, and goods door to door, building relationships with every customer he met. His commitment to excellence and personal service laid the foundation for Corbo Jewelers, a name now synonymous with trust and quality craftsmanship.
The Second Generation: Expanding the Vision
By around 1918, Alfonso’s legacy was already in motion. Six of his eight children embraced the family business, continuing the tradition of personalized service. His sons, Mike, Dick, and Nick, followed their father’s lead, traveling through Bergen, Passaic, and Essex counties to bring their jewelry and expertise directly to customers’ homes. It wasn’t just about sales, it was about creating bonds. Customers became friends, and many felt like extended family.
Alfonso’s daughters, Julia, Mae, and Pep, brought a new milestone to the family’s journey by opening the very first store on Warren Street in Newark, New Jersey. In 1945, the store moved to Bloomfield, signaling the beginning of the brand’s retail presence.
The Third & Fourth Generations: Growth and Legacy
The family’s dedication to the craft carried into the 1950s with the arrival of Alan, Michael’s son, into the business. Alan opened the second Corbo Jewelers store in Clifton, NJ, marking a significant expansion. As the years passed, the business continued to thrive. Alan’s own children, Cathy, Stephen, Alan Jr., and Michael, joined the company, playing a key role in its growth. At one point, Corbo Jewelers proudly operated twelve locations, including stores in Toms River, Rockaway, and Paramus.
Our family upheld the values of craftsmanship, integrity, and care with every expansion. These generations built a reputation for Corbo Jewelers that made us a household name throughout New Jersey.
