About

In 1937, W.J. “Wally” Montague purchased the Fortney Pease Jewelry store located at 2817 2nd Avenue North in downtown Billings. Wally served the community for many years with integrity and a reputation for quality jewelry and personal service.

In 1963, Wally’s son Jay joined the business after graduating from college. At that time, a second store was established at West Park Plaza. In 1971, Jay and his wife Lynne became the owners of Montague’s, continuing the family tradition of earning their customer’s trust and confidence through outstanding service and quality.

As of March 2003, Jay and Lynne’s oldest son, Chris, joined Montague’s Jewelers as Vice President. Chris represents a third generation of the Montague family to carry the tradition of excellence to our customers and community involvement for years to come.
