About Freeman & Foote Jewelers

In Europe, Morris Freeman was an expert watchmaker. When he moved to this country in 1924, he started a business in Utica, New York.
 
His son, Eli Freeman and his wife, Marian expanded the business into a full-scale jewelry retail store. The passion for the store was passed down to their daughter, Heidi Foote, who is the 3rd generation owner.  She has continued to offer customers a large selection of beautiful diamond and gold jewelry at very reasonable prices with exceptional customer service.  

Heidi has her diamond grading certificate through GIA, and her Master's Degree from Buffalo State College. Freeman and Foote Jewelers offers expert jewelry and watch repair.  Freeman and Foote Jewelers also has free layaways. They also buy diamonds gold and estate jewelry. 

The store continues its 91-year tradition in downtown Utica of making wishes come true!
