Thomas James Jewelers is named after Thomas James Faini. It all started in 1950, when Larry Faini moved to Sioux Falls from New York, and started F&H Repair Service. He was an exceptional old world craftsman that gained the respect of his jewelry peers of his trade and community. He was a trusted jeweler of high integrity and character. Thomas began learning from his esteemed father at an early age, and after graduating high school, joined hi dad’s business. He likes to quip that he learned on his father’s lap.

Thomas decided teamed up with a client store that his father stared doing business with in 1950. Bechtold Jewelry, a store started in 1902 by J.H.
