The jewelry business is obviously in our blood. Both sides of our family emigrated from Kiev, Russia, where they were involved in jewelry manufacturing since the late 19th Century. Our great grandfather, Samuel Mazurosky, established our family's first jewelry store on Front Avenue in 1888. Seventeen years later our grandfather Albert stepped off the boat that carried him from Russia.
He couldn't speak a word of English and didn't have ten dollars in his pocket. Amazingly, Albert was able to open his first store-Rogoway Jewelers-on NW 6th and Couch just five years later in 1910. He chose that location so he could be within walking distance of the train station, where he could roll a cart filled with jewelry to meet arriving travelers.
In 1934 our grandfather moved to the corner of SW 3rd and Alder and remained there for the next thirty years. The business was truly a family affair, as Albert's four sons all worked in the store, starting when each of them turned ten years old. It took the whole family persevering together to survive the Great Depression, during which at times the family went days without making a sale.
