History

Established in 1965.

In 1965, Tena & Gene Cory of Washington, Georgia opened the first Tena’s Jewelry in Downtown Washington across the street from the present location. In February 1977, Mrs. Amy Howard of Tignall, Georgia bought the store from the Corys. She soon saw the need for expansion and moved Tena’s across the street. Mrs. Howard transformed the three old, abandoned buildings into the larger and more modern facility it is today. In 1981, she opened Tena’s Jewelry on the square in Downtown Elberton.

Mrs. Howard has three daughters, Debbie R. Jackson, Sandra R. Brown & Jeana R. Worley, all of Tignall, Georgia. One by one, as the sisters finished college, they came home to work full-​time for their mother. While in high school and college, they worked part-​time in the stores. When Mrs. Howard passed away in 1995, the three sisters took over the businesses completely. Among the many things that their mother taught them, most importantly was to love and serve God, work hard and work together.
