Ocala’s premier jeweler for 70 years
Gause & Son Jewelers, regarded by locals as Ocala’s jewelry store, has anchored the downtown square since 1950. The family business is owned by Jerry and Teddie Gause and Cammie McLeod, who are thankful for all the years of selling beautiful diamonds to amazing clients.
Celebrating their 70th anniversary last month, the family attributed the long-term success of their business to their passion for beautiful jewelry, teamwork and placing great importance on maintaining the trust of the community.
“What’s been rewarding is to build this company up like we’ve done,” Jerry says, “to go from a very small business my mother and father started to a larger, much bigger jewelry store recognized nationwide.”
The Gause family anticipates a bright future for Gause & Son Jewelers under the leadership of their daughter Cammie McLeod, who brings her own fashion-forward vision as she continues the family legacy of giving customers a quality jewelry shopping experience.
