For more than 68 years, Leighton’s Jewelry was an iconic piece of Madera’s history. 

Chris Miller, who spent many years running the family business after his father passed the business to him in 1990, stepped down at the end of 2024. 

But instead of closing its doors for good, a new chapter begins as Miller passed the baton to his daughter, Suzie Gran, and her business partner, Virgil Anderson.
