The Finery House

An Intimate Fine Jewelry Experience

An exclusive jewelry experience, The Finery House is a full-service jeweler that curates a collection for your unique style. With over a decade of industry experience, founder Janie Colbaugh tells us, “It became clear to me that there was a need for a more intimate, client-focused jewelry shopping experience. No glass cases, no excessive markups, just a desire to make fine jewelry accessible to everyone.” 

The bedrock of what The Finery House stands on is its clientele relationships. “We are meant to be more than a store. We are so grateful for the opportunity to be invited into some of the most memorable moments of our clients' lives. From the man who comes in to select the perfect ring for the perfect girl, to the woman who's looking for designs using the diamonds her great-grandmother left her and all the anniversaries, retirements, birthdays and other milestones, we will always do our best to serve others and spread the love.”

Keeping with their mission to create an intimate jewelry shopping experience for their customers, The Finery House is also home to Gilted Thread. For the last two and a half years, Gilted Thread has provided a place for customers to purchase permanent jewelry for every generation of shopper.

Customers are treated to unique shopping experiences as they get custom permanent jewelry from Gilted Thread. After perusing the range of options offered by The Finery House, customers of Gilted Thread get to choose their preferred thread, or golden chain, all of which are made of 14k gold. Styles of gold chains vary from modern to classic style chains, and can be fashioned as necklaces, bracelets, or anklets. Before attaching the jewelry, customers can also add special charms such as birthstone links.

Abby Callahan of The Finery House, comments, “The best thing about getting to do Gilted Thread is the connection we make with people, and the meaning behind the pieces they choose. I’ve met several ladies who have had or are currently enduring breast cancer treatments, and they chose our "Survivor" charm. Or women who have lost their mother choose our "Mama Dearest" charm to honor their mother’s memory. So many of our pieces are designed to tell a story, and we absolutely love the way our clients embrace that.”

To see what The Finery House has to offer or to get your own permanent jewelry, visit The Finery House website (thefineryhouse.com) or the Gilted Thread website (giltedthread.com) to find pop-up shops occurring around the Chattanooga area.
