For more than a century, Lakein’s Jewelers has been part of Baltimore’s story.
Founded in 1913 by Marcia Lakein’s great-grandfather after arriving from Russia, Lakein’s Jewelers has grown into one of the region’s most recognizable family-owned jewelry businesses.
Built on craftsmanship, trust, expertise, and personal service, the business has served generations of customers through life’s most meaningful moments, from engagements and anniversaries to milestone gifts, repairs, and custom pieces designed with care.
Now, that legacy is entering an exciting new chapter.
A Family-Owned Business with More Than 100 Years of Baltimore History
Lakein’s Jewelers is not just another retail tenant. It is a Baltimore institution.
For 113 years, the Lakein family has built a business rooted in relationships, service, and the kind of specialized expertise that customers continue to seek out across generations.
In an era where so much of retail has moved online, Lakein’s represents something increasingly valuable: a personal, local, trusted experience.
Customers visit Lakein’s not only to purchase jewelry, but to receive thoughtful guidance, skilled repairs, custom design expertise, and the reassurance that comes from working with a family business that has earned its reputation over time.
That legacy continues today under the leadership of Marcia Lakein, owner of Lakein’s Jewelers, who carries forward the family’s commitment to quality, service, and community connection.
Recognized by the Baltimore Business Journal
In 2026, Lakein’s Jewelers was recognized as part of the Baltimore Business Journal’s Family-Owned Business Awards, a celebration of Greater Baltimore companies that continue to make a lasting impact through generational leadership, resilience, and local commitment.
The recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects what has made Lakein’s Jewelers so enduring: a deep connection to its customers, a legacy of craftsmanship, and a business model built on trust.
Family-owned businesses play an important role in the economic and cultural fabric of the Baltimore region. They bring continuity, character, and authenticity to the communities they serve. Lakein’s Jewelers is a powerful example of that tradition.
Why Lakein’s Jewelers Is a Strong Addition to Belair Beltway Plaza
Belair Beltway Plaza continues to serve as a convenient and well-positioned retail destination for the Fullerton, Perry Hall, Nottingham, Parkville, and greater Baltimore County communities.

Lakein’s Jewelers adds a meaningful new layer to that mix.
As a family-owned jewelry business with a loyal customer base and more than a century of history, Lakein’s brings both destination value and community credibility to Belair Beltway Plaza.
Their presence strengthens the center’s tenant lineup while offering shoppers access to fine jewelry, expert repairs, custom design services, and personal customer care.
For customers who have known Lakein’s Jewelers for years, this move represents continuity.
For new customers discovering the business for the first time, it is an invitation to experience one of Baltimore’s longstanding family business legacies.
A Retail Story Rooted in Community
At David S. Brown Enterprises, we believe strong retail centers are built through more than location alone. They are built through the right mix of businesses, services, relationships, and community connection.
Lakein’s Jewelers reflects the kind of tenant that helps create that sense of place.
Their story is about entrepreneurship, family, resilience, and a commitment to serving customers with care. It is also a reminder that retail is at its best when it feels personal, local, and meaningful.
From its founding in 1913 to its newest chapter at Belair Beltway Plaza, Lakein’s Jewelers continues to shine as a Baltimore business with lasting impact.

The legacy behind Lockwood Place and why his story matters during Black History Month
In Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, where visitors gather for waterfront views and city energy, there is a name quietly woven into the fabric of the downtown landscape: Lockwood Place.
To many, it is simply a well-positioned commercial destination at 600 East Pratt Street.
But its name is not decorative. It is intentional.
And it carries the weight of a life that helped shape Baltimore’s educational future.
Lockwood Place, a David S. Brown Enterprises property, is named in honor of Dr. William V. Lockwood, a pioneering educator and administrator whose work transformed higher education access in Baltimore and whose leadership helped bring a major downtown campus to life.
During Black History Month, his story stands as a reminder that Baltimore’s progress has always been built not only by institutions, but by individuals with vision, resilience, and a commitment to community.
A Life Rooted in Education and Determination
Dr. William V. Lockwood’s journey began far from Baltimore.
He was born in Alexandria, Louisiana, and later moved with his family to Waukegan, Illinois, where he attended local schools.
From there, he charted a path that would lead him into some of the most respected educational institutions in the country.
In 1938, he earned his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Morgan State College, one of the nation’s most important historically Black colleges and universities.
At a time when opportunities for African-Americans were constrained by segregation and systemic barriers, Dr. Lockwood’s academic achievements represented both personal excellence and cultural defiance.
“His life long devotion to educational advancement made him instrumental in transforming the dream of the Harbor Campus into a premier institution of higher learning.”
Military Service and Remarkable Leadership
With World War II underway, Dr. Lockwood was inducted into the U.S. Army in 1940 and served with the Army Corps of Engineers.
After the D-Day invasion in 1944, he served as commander of a large marshaling camp near Dorchester, England.
He entered the Army as a private and was discharged as a major, a remarkable achievement in any era, and particularly notable for a Black serviceman during a time when the military itself reflected the racial divisions of American society.
A longtime friend, retired District Judge William H. Murphy Sr., described him as “a remarkable man,” noting that his military rise was an extraordinary accomplishment.
Advanced Degrees and a Growing Influence
After the war, Dr. Lockwood continued his education, earning a master’s degree in psychology from Northwestern University in 1947.
In 1956, he earned a doctorate in administration and guidance from Johns Hopkins University, further establishing his expertise as a leader equipped to shape institutions.
Baltimore, a city defined by complexity, history, and ambition, would become the stage for his most lasting work.
Breaking Barriers at Baltimore City Community College
In 1964, Dr. Lockwood joined what was then known as the Community College of Baltimore. His early roles included serving as coordinator of the Junior College Study Project and head of the evening division.
He also directed the evening division at Morgan State University.
His leadership was evident quickly.
By 1968, he became Dean of Faculty for the Harbor Campus. In 1970, he was named Vice President, making him the first African-American to hold a high-ranking administrative post at the institution.
Colleagues remembered him as brilliant, determined, and unwavering in his mission.
Barbara Faw, the college’s community relations director and the first Black professor in the economics and business department, described him as a man who faced obstacles but refused to surrender to them.
“He faced many obstacles as a Black man at the institution, but he never gave up.”
Building the Inner Harbor Campus: A Legacy in Brick and Steel
Dr. Lockwood’s most visible legacy was the project he helped bring to life: the construction of Baltimore City Community College’s downtown campus.
He oversaw and managed the development of the $14.5 million Inner Harbor campus, which opened in 1976, a significant investment not only in infrastructure, but in access to opportunity.
He retired in 1975 due to health reasons, but his impact remained embedded in the institution’s growth and direction.
In 1977, the college dedicated the south building in his name and honored him with the title of Vice President Emeritus.
At the time, the recognition carried historic significance. As Barbara Faw noted, he was among the very few living African-American men who had a major building in downtown Baltimore named in their honor.
Lockwood Place: Where History Continues to Work
The story does not end with a building dedication.
Lockwood Place sits on the original site of the educational facility that once bore his name, continuing the spirit of the campus he helped establish.
Today, this multi-use complex represents a modern evolution of the same mission: serving Baltimore through commerce, connectivity, and community presence.
As one of the first commercial Inner Harbor structures named after an African-American leader, Lockwood Place stands as both a destination and a tribute.
The location remains strategically positioned at the heart of the city, surrounded by Baltimore’s cultural institutions, tourism corridor, and waterfront economy.
But more importantly, it carries forward something deeper: the idea that Baltimore’s most valuable landmarks are those built on purpose.
Civic Leadership and Community Service
Dr. Lockwood’s influence extended well beyond academia.
In 1965, he was appointed deputy regional director of the Department of Labor’s Neighborhood Youth Corps, a program created under the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 to expand job training and pathways for young people.
He also served in numerous professional organizations, including the Advisory Council on Higher Education, the Committee on School-College Relations, and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
He was a longtime member of Douglass Memorial Community Church, where he served for more than 50 years and met his wife of 53 years, the former Eva Frances Brown.
Why His Story Matters During Black History Month
Black History Month is often framed around famous names.
But cities are not shaped only by national figures.
They are shaped by the builders of institutions, the architects of opportunity, and the quiet visionaries who move progress forward even when resistance is loud.
Dr. William V. Lockwood represents that kind of legacy.
He was an educator who expanded access.
A leader who helped modernize Baltimore’s higher education landscape.
A Black professional who broke barriers at a time when the doors were not easily opened.
And a Baltimorean whose name now stands in the center of the city he served.
“Lockwood Place is more than a property name. It is a reminder that Baltimore’s future has always been shaped by those bold enough to build it.”
A Living Tribute in the Heart of Baltimore
Today, Lockwood Place continues to stand as a vital Inner Harbor destination, honoring a man who believed in the power of education and the responsibility of institutions to uplift communities.
For David S. Brown Enterprises, Lockwood Place is not only an important property in our portfolio.
It is also a symbol of Baltimore’s story: progress anchored in legacy, excellence built through vision, and history that still matters.
This Black History Month, we honor Dr. William V. Lockwood not simply as a name from the past, but as a legacy still active in the present.
Because the greatest tributes are not statues.
They are the places that continue to serve people.
