Every year, the 24KT Club of the Southeast presents the Jeweler of the Year awards to a deserving Retail Jeweler. The award is presented at the Club’s black tie gala, which is held during the August Atlanta Jewelry Show on Saturday evening at the Atlanta  Country Club. This year, it was attended by 200 guests and club members. This summer banquet is always a spectacular night, and this year was no exception.

While several scholarships are awarded at the banquet, the grand award is the Jeweler of the Year. This year’s well-deserving winner was Carroll Little from Little’s Jewelers, Corinth, MS, Tupelo, MS, and Jackson, TN. 

For over 75 years, Little’s Jewelers has been a southern tradition dedicated to excellent service and outstanding quality. What began as a small store with only four counters in downtown Corinth has evolved into the area’s leading jeweler. Currently serving three locations, Little’s Jewelers has maintained a family-run atmosphere while gaining a reputation for excellence.

Mr. C.K. Little opened his doors in 1947 and ran a successful store in historic downtown Corinth. When his son, Carroll Little, joined him in 1985, he created a vision and developed a plan for the future of Little’s Jewelers. 

Opening a store in Tupelo, MS, and then in Jackson, TN, he broadened his market and was able to acquire some of the industry’s finest vendors. He now carries top lines such as Romance, Simon G., Movado, and Imperial Pearl. In order to complete the vision, Mr. Little assembled a team of the area’s finest and most educated jewelry artisans to offer top-quality service for his customers’ jewelry needs. Little’s Jewelers is well-equipped to handle anything from ring sizing to custom ring design. 

Little’s is very involved with the community, schools, and the lives of its customers and employees. Each year, the business helps sponsor the Little’s Jewelry Charity Golf Tournament, raising money and exposure for the Oasis Medical Center, which focuses on support for at-risk mothers and their unborn children.
