Jack Sutton Jack Sutton Fine Jewelry is closing its Canal Place location, ending a more than four-decade run at the downtown New Orleans luxury shopping center. Owner Jack Sutton said in a news release that the company’s Royal Street location in the French Quarter and its Aspen, Colorado, store will remain open.   The family business dates to 1915, when Sutton’s grandfather opened the first location inside the Fairmont Roosevelt Hotel. In 1984, Sutton opened his own store at Canal Place after working under his uncle on Royal Street, then later expanded with a second location at 315 Royal St. “This is a deeply meaningful moment for me and my family,” Sutton said. “Canal Place has been an important part of our journey, and we are incredibly grateful for the clients and relationships built here over the years.” default To mark the transition, Jack Sutton Fine Jewelry will hold a limited-time closing sale at its Canal Place store, offering fine jewelry including engagement rings, bridal pieces, loose diamonds and one-of-a-kind designs at steep discounts, according to the company.   “As we close this location, I invite the community to visit us, experience the collection, and take advantage of this unique opportunity before it’s gone,” Sutton said. The closure marks the second time in roughly three months that a longstanding high-end retailer has announced it is leaving Canal Place. In February, Saks Fifth Avenue announced its closure at Canal Place by the end of April, ending about 40 years at the shopping center. The closure was due to its parent company’s Chapter 11 restructuring. Canal Place currently houses more than 35 retailers across three floors, including Aroma360, Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, Golden Goose, J.Crew, Louis Vuitton, lululemon, MCM, Swarovski, Tiffany Co. and Tory Burch, among others. Jack Sutton’s departure from Canal Place is the second high-end jewelry retail closure on Canal Street in the last six months. In November 2025, Adler’s Jewelry announced closure of its Canal Street and Metairie stores after 127 years in business. ...read more read less
