Why KAY?

Because we're devoted to love — as we have been for more than 100 years

Many Reasons to Love KAY

Everyone deserves to receive and give love. It's upon this steadfast belief that we've devoted ourselves to providing beautiful jewelry for all. From classic must-haves to the latest trends, our selection of quality jewelry is second to none — no wonder KAY is part of so many love stories coast to coast.

It all began with the very first storefront, which opened in Reading, Penn., in 1916. Back then, customers could find eyeglasses, music boxes, silverware, appliances, and razors among the gifts of jewelry. A lot has changed since then, but love lives on.

KAY Jewelers, now part of Signet Jewelers in Akron, Ohio, is now the leading jewelry store in America with more than 1,000 stores and a team of dedicated jewelry experts thousands strong, waiting to help you find beautiful pieces to love.

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®

St. Jude was founded by the late entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that "no child should die in the dawn of life." In 1999, inspired by the courage of the kids of St. Jude, KAY embarked on our partnership in caring. Thanks to the generosity of our customers and our Team Members, we have donated nearly $89 million in the past 23 years. A portion of that contribution comes from our popular holiday St. Jude Bears sale — this year, Miles (plush bear) and Mae (plush puppy) will help us make a difference.

These funds have aided many programs at St. Jude including the building of the Kay Kafe and KAY Research & Care Center, which has helped usher in a new era of research, education, collaboration, care and treatment for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

Diamonds Do Good®

Founded in 2007 by leaders in the diamond industry, Diamonds Do Good is a global nonprofit that works toward a mission of empowering youth from countries where diamonds are found. It's leading these young people to become a new generation of ethical leaders through access to higher education.

To date, more than 2,000 college-age students across Africa and India have received financial assistance or have been awarded scholarships as a result of the generous support received from the diamond industry. Diamonds Do Good is proud to fund these educational programs, and works to tell the powerful stories of those who benefit.
