Jim and Martha Durbin hope that gem of a tradition continues long after they polish off their inventory and call it a day — their last one — on the final Saturday in May. The Durbins recall how Al R. Hoemann’s Jewelers, “the home of grandfather clocks,” was on the street for four decades before the Durbins came along with James Durbin Jewelry Design. They have added another three diamond decades to the jewelry history on Jefferson Avenue. “Kirkwood has been great to us, and it will be a bittersweet experience discounting and selling our inventory, but we’re ready to move on to another chapter in life,” said Jim Durbin. “We own the building, so we’re hoping to attract someone interested in another jewelry shop.”
