All that glitters

Birmingham’s jewelry selection is expanding around February 1, when Tapper’s Gold Exchange plans to open at 251 E. Merrill, suite 236, in the Merrillwood Building in downtown Birmingham. Mark Tapper, second generation president of Tapper’s Diamonds & Fine Jewelry, said the location will not be a full jewelry store, but an opportunity for those looking to buy and sell estate jewelry. “The intent is to give customers a very comfortable and confidential area to view merchandise, and to purchase and sell pre-owned and estate jewelry,” Tapper said.
