Atlanta—The Southern Jewelry Travelers Association (SJTA), organizers of the semi-annual Atlanta Jewelry Show, have awarded 27 retail jewelers with SJTA Certified Jeweler status.

The certification program recognizes retailers who have participated in a full range of educational and professional development programs offered through the Atlanta Jewelry Show. To qualify, retailers must attend two Atlanta Jewelry Shows per year as well as at least two seminars during each show, for a total of four seminars a year.

SJTA Certified Jewelers include: Norma Lane of A Step Above in Atlanta; Cheryl Atkins and Norman (Ned) Atkins of Amberley Park Assoc. in Suwanee, Ga.; Brad Padgett and Susan Sweeney of Bradleys Jewelers in Jacksonville, N.C.; Keith Cooper, Mary Cooper and Mary Kathryn Cooper of Cooper's Fine Jewelry in Crestview, Fla.; Glenn Covington of Covington Co. Jewelry in Landrum, S.C.; Chuck Stoddard and Judie Stoddard of Diamond Appraisal by Stoddard in West Palm Beach, Fla.; Bryan Exum and Larry Exum of Diamonds by Chandlee in Athens, Ga.; L. Emil Girardin of Girardin Jewelers in Valdosta, Ga.; Mary Lee and George Lee of Gold Silver Center in Hixson, Tenn.; Joy Mobley of Hodges Jewelry Co. in Camilla, Ga.; Julia Green and James Green Jr. of Jim Green Jewelers in Crystal River, Fla.; Lee Wiser McIntosh of Katura in Atlanta; Pamela Kelley of OK Pawn Jewelry in Daytona Beach, Fla.; Horace Chip Stephenson and Kim Stephenson of Stephenson Jewelry in Valdosta, Ga; Virginia Anderson of T.K. Anderson Designs in Athens, Ga.; Sandy Weeks and Matthew Weeks of Westlake Jewelry in Moneta, Va.; and Thomas McBurnett of Yesteryear Jewelers in Columbia, S.C.

"SJTA Certified Jeweler status is a true badge of honor for these retailers," SJTA Executive Director Carol Young said in a statement. "This designation lets area customers know that these stores are truly committed to ongoing education and, most importantly, to quality customer service."

Each retailer has been presented with a SJTA Certified Jeweler certificate and a store window decal that lets customers know the store is an active participant in the program.

To maintain certification status, retailers must attend one show a year and a minimum of two seminars a year.
