Lippa's Jewelry Moves Out of Burlington

After 93 years on Burlington’s Church Street, Lippa’s Estate and Fine Jewelry is closing its doors in August and relocating to Colchester — where it’ll transform into a private, appointment-only showroom focused on wholesale and custom design. Owner Michael Berger, who took over from his father in 2020 after earning his gemologist degree, says staffing challenges, a heavier workload, and a changing downtown environment — including safety concerns over panhandling and drug use — prompted the move. The business, founded by his great-great-uncle in 1933, will continue under family ownership with just one employee, offering estate jewelry and bespoke pieces in a new office setting on Mountain View Drive. Berger’s farewell note to clients includes a “sale of the century” — marking the end of an era, but not the end of the legacy. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
