Carolina and Clemson have one of the oldest and most passionate rivalries in the Nation.

Garnet and Black Traditions and Tiger Paw Traditions are retail establishments that house merchandise for both of these beloved schools and are focusing on expanding our selection of our best collegiate collections.

Founded by George Satterfield, his son Scott took over the company in 2005 when George succumbed to his fight with cancer. Scott grew up alongside the company and learned every facet of what was needed for a business to stay healthy and run smoothly. George taught Scott the foundation of what has helped Jewelry Warehouse endure: our customers. Scott’s focus on providing the best for our customers has helped us reach a new generation of shoppers, and even though they may not know our back story they keep coming back because of the quality of service we continually strive to provide.
