Somers Point Jewelers Gift Business To Longtime Employees

SOMERS POINT, NJ — Five longtime Bernie Robbins Jewelers employees were gifted the "key" to the business as owners Harvey and Madalyn Rovinsky head to retirement.

May 7 was a day of celebration as the couple passed down the 62-year-old business at 507 New Road, Somers Point. A similar ceremony was held May 6 at their Newtown, PA store.

The Rovinskys had entered into negotiations to sell the business in late 2022, but before the end of the year, decided that what was best for Bernie Robbins was to gift ownership of the family-run business, debt-free, to five of their most loyal employees.

This dedicated and trusted group has been stewards of the business for 20 to 30 years each, according to the company. Now, they're officially introduced as the new owners and partners - Sandra Moran, Andy Lazar, Stephen Berman, Gen Flaxman and Steve Jaffe.

A family-run business since Bernie Robbins, Madalyn's father, opened it in 1962, the Rovinskys have known each member of this team of leaders for at least 20 years and they are confident in the energy, enthusiasm and expertise they will be bringing to customers. This new leadership team brings a combined industry expertise spanning decades. Sandra Moran, boasting 22 years as a seasoned jewelry purchasing director, brings an impeccable eye for quality and style. Stephen Berman, of Newtown, PA with 20 years of luxury sales and management mastery, is poised to ignite new avenues for growth and will be based in the Newtown store. Gen Flaxman, a second-generation jeweler, has spearheaded the Bernie Robbins Client Experience, ensuring unparalleled service. Steve Jaffe is the diamond buyer for over 30 years, continuously offering a superlative diamond selection following emerging trends. And, Andy Lazar, who has worked for Bernie Robbins Jewelers for 31 years, is the go-to authority on watches, with a phenomenal jewelry following.

The new team is excited to announce a more youthful and fun experience for customers, aimed at creating lasting memories and joyful moments.

Now open six days a week, the store hours are Monday through Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The flagship store is located at 507 New Rd, Somers Point, NJ 08244 and their store in Bucks County PA is located at 200 N Sycamore St, Newtown, PA 18940.
