Wright’s Jewelry closes after 27 years

DeKALB – John Wright was just a former electronics store manager looking for a job when he started at Burch Jewelry in 1980.

What he found was a passion that led him to open Wright’s Jewelry at 124 E. Lincoln Highway in 1985, the last of the six downtown DeKalb jewelry stores that operated when he first opened his doors.

But those doors closed Thursday as Wright decided 32 years in the jewelry business and 27 years of running his own business was enough.
