Family-owned jeweler reflects on generations of customer relationships following its 2026 Best Locally Based Jewelry Store win.
Hannoush Jewelers, a family-owned jewelry business serving New York’s Capital Region since 1984, is celebrating its ninth Best of the Capital Region recognition. Times Union readers named Hannoush the 2026 winner in the Best Locally Based Jewelry Store category, continuing a tradition of community support for the company’s Albany, Clifton Park and Queensbury showrooms.
Announced earlier this year, the award has offered the Hannoush team an opportunity to reflect on the relationships behind its more than four decades in business. From engagement rings and wedding bands to anniversary gifts, family keepsakes and everyday jewelry, the company has built its reputation around personal attention, product selection and craftsmanship.
Recognition Rooted in Customer Relationships
The Best of the Capital Region program reflects votes from local readers. For Hannoush, being chosen nine times is particularly meaningful because the recognition comes from the community their family and team serve every day.
“To be recognized by our community for the ninth time means a great deal to our family. Our customers trust us with engagements, anniversaries, birthdays and so many other meaningful moments. We are grateful for the relationships we have built over the years and for our team members, whose knowledge and care help make those experiences special.” ~Albert Hannoush, owner
Fine Jewelry Selection and Personalized Service
Across its three Capital Region showrooms, Hannoush offers engagement rings, wedding bands, natural and lab-grown diamond jewelry, gold and sterling silver pieces, colored gemstones and watches.
Associates help customers consider style, materials, fit and budget, whether they are choosing a small gift or making a milestone jewelry purchase. Custom jewelry design is another part of the Hannoush experience. Customers can bring photographs, sketches or an early idea to a consultation, then collaborate with the team as a design takes shape. Depending on the project, jewelers use hand carving or computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) before casting a finished piece. Services also include jewelry repair, appraisals, engraving, and restyling or redesign of existing jewelry.
A Family-Owned Albany Business Since 1984
The company’s roots date back to August 1984, when Elias Hannoush opened the family’s first jewelry store in Albany. As the business grew, the family expanded its presence in the region while continuing its emphasis on jewelry craftsmanship and knowledgeable customer service. Today, Elias’s sons Albert and David Hannoush continue that legacy. The company serves customers from its Albany showroom at 112 Wolf Road, Clifton Park showroom at 1750 Route 9, and Queensbury showroom at 1054 Route 9. As Hannoush marks its ninth Best of the Capital Region recognition, the family remains focused on the principles that have shaped the business for more than 40 years: Offering a broad selection, providing attentive service and forging relationships that extend beyond any single purchase.
