The 127-year-old jeweler is planning to open a new store in Mystic, Connecticut.

The 127-year-old, family-owned jeweler will open a new store in downtown Mystic, Connecticut.
The retailer purchased the former site of Bank Square Books at 49-53 W. Main St.
The bookstore has moved to a new location nearby, and the jeweler’s plans to move into the space are underway, with more details on the timeline to follow.
“The Mystic/Groton/Stonington area has been rapidly growing with exciting new restaurants, shops, hotels, and attractions. Our family looks forward to collaborating closely with the community to enhance the already exceptional experiences that make this award-winning area so special,” said fourth-generation jeweler John Green, who is the president and CEO of Lux Bond & Green.
“We are excited to bring our nationally recognized, customer-focused environment to this beautiful shoreline destination.”
Lux Bond & Green currently operates four locations in Connecticut, including in West Hartford, Glastonbury, Westport, and in Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Uncasville, as well as one location in Wellesley, Massachusetts.
The jeweler said its expansion reflects its dedication to preserving its heritage while embracing growth.
“With a legacy built on exceptional customer service, affordable luxury, and long-lasting relationships, the family is excited to contribute to Mystic’s vibrant culture and continue building upon their history of excellence,” said the retailer.
