Bailey Banks & Biddle is the oldest nationwide jeweller in America. Founded in 1832 in Philadelphia as Bailey & Kitchen, the company was later renamed Bailey Banks & Biddle Company when Joseph T.

Many famous Americans have been patrons to this company, including President Lincoln and Ronald Reagan.
