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.
David S. Brown Enterprises is proud to welcome Lakein’s Jewelers of Hamilton to Belair Beltway Plaza, where the beloved Baltimore jeweler recently signed a lease in April 2026.
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.
