Fig Origin Story: Ream Jewelers

Ream was established in 1935.

Planting the Seed

Ream Jewelers was founded by Robert Ream in 1935 before being purchased by Herbert and Dorothy Rochman in 1960. As the business and the city grew, Herbert, his daughter Ricki, and son-in law Mr. Alan Friedland moved the store to Queen Street in 1972, where they remained committed to keeping their business downtown.

Rooted in Lancaster

Their shared passion for helping generations of families find the perfect gift in a warm and welcoming environment is reflected in every corner of the store. As the creative force behind Ream Jewelers, Ricki continues to design every detail of their unique experience, creating the distinctive environment customers have known for decades.

Tending New Growth

Their offerings have expanded over the years to include precision jewelry repairs, master watchmaking, and custom jewelry design—with an emphasis on curating elegant collections for the community they love. Their legacy is rooted in creating joy for everyone who walks through their doors.
