DRENON JEWELRY - Key Persons
Fresh out of Texas Jewelry Institute, Kelly started his career at Drenon's in 1979 at our original location in Fairmount. In 1993, he became interested in custom crafting. He spent time traveling the country, attending various trainings and classes until he mastered the craft. He has won several awards for his work over the years and has played a pivotal role in taking Drenon's to the next level of custom design. All of his work is done in-house and is completed in 10 days or less. If you can imagine it, he can create it!
Michelle discovered that she wanted to be a jeweler back in 1984 while still in high school. She would skip her regular classes to spend more time in jewelry class! After high school, she attended Texas Jewelry Institute, where she graduated in 1989. She has been in the industry for 29 years and been with Drenon's for 18 years. She handles 90% of all the repairs that come through our shop. When she's not working, she enjoys gardening and working on projects around the house.
Rhonda started out decorating the windows back at our Fairmount location over 40 years ago. She is a third generation Drenon, who's involvement in the store has grown over the years. You will most often find her out front on the sales floor, but she also works on many of our marketing materials and keeps our cookies and candies stocked! Outside of the store, she is an amazing photographer and a devoted "Mimi" to three little girls.
After being around the business her entire life, this fourth generation Drenon officially came to work in 2017. She is currently pursuing her education at the Gemological Institute of America with the goal of becoming a Graduate Gemologist. In addition to sales, she also handles our social media and online marketing. Savanna is excited to have the opportunity to carry on the Drenon name in the future!
