Saxon's Opening Third Store Near Wegmans

Saxon’s Diamond Center will soon open a third location in the Abingdon area.

The well-known jewelry store with locations in Bel Air and Aberdeen will open XO by Saxon’s this October in the Wegmans shopping center in Abingdon, also known as Boulevard At Box Hill.

Saxon’s has been in Harford County since 1958, and co-owner Kevin Ferrell said the new store will be a slightly different notion.

“This is a new concept store for us. This is going to be more of a boutique type store,” Ferrell said. “We are going to carry a lot of things we don’t carry in our stores now.”

Pandora lovers can rest assured; XO will carry their favorite charms and beads. However, Ferrell said the Abingdon store will carry more “fashion items.”

“We are going to carry some accessories, which would include purses. Predominately it will be jewelry, but more fashion types,” Ferrell said.

XO will carry popular lines like Belle Étoile, Angelique de Paris and Ti Sento. The store will also carry designer purses.

According to Ferrell, the store is targeted to open around mid-October. The building where the store will be located is currently under construction.

Ferrel said XO will offer a new look for Saxon’s. The store will have some customer favorites as well as some new items and plenty of fresh and fashionable jewelry.

“This store will have it’s own identity,” Ferrell said. “We are hiring a whole new staff for this store. It is going to be more fashion oriented, than bridal oriented and will have a whole new look.”
