In 1951, after apprenticing under Fritz Martin in Greenville, Ohio for 4 years, Robert Sink decided to make the move to Arcanum and start his own store.  He had one other employee.  The original shop was on East George Street just across the street from Troutwine Auto Sales about the spot where Leroy’s Barber Shop was for years.

          In 1954, he had decided he needed more space and moved the store to its current location at 11 West George Street, Arcanum, Ohio.   Robert believed in offering good quality merchandise for a fair price and being able to provide timely service for your repair needs.  Robert would be involved in the business until 2002 when the affects of Parkinson’s disease forced him to retire.  He would pass away 2 years later in May of 2004. 

          Robert’s son, Dan started working part time in 1981 after school and Saturdays.  Dan moved to a full time position after school in 1987.  After Robert’s passing he took over ownership of Sink Jewelers.  Dan has helped Sink Jewelers move into the 21^st Century with:

·       State of the Art computer POS system with complete inventory on computer

·       Digital photography for repair intakes and appraisals

·       Rofin Laser welder for jewelry and glasses repairs

·       CAD Design for creating custom jewelry

·       Integrated website
