Eagle & Pearl Jewelers (colloquially known as Eagle & Pearl) is an American jewelry retailer headquartered in Colorado. In 2020, it celebrated its 290th anniversary and is one of the world's oldest jewelry stores still in operation. It sells gemstone, pearl and unique designer gold and sterling silver jewelry. Eagle & Pearl is known for partnering with internationally acclaimed award-winning jewelry designers from around the world. Eagle & Pearl was founded in 1730 by the jouaillier (high jeweler) Francois (Francis) Fleuriau and later Peter Parquot, a fellow French descendant whose trade cards were written in English and French and whose family had relocated to England from France in the early 1700s. Eagle & Pearl has remained family owned since its founding and the current co-owner is Peter's 6th great grandson and John Treweek's, who operated what became the main store on Princes Court, London, 4th great grandson. The family moved the business from the U.K. to the U.S. in 2005, moving away from traditional brick and mortar stores to online retail. At present, Eagle & Pearl operates only in the United States.
