Bling-bling that sings

Mood: amorous
"Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it!" Or if you're in Richmond, Donald Dransfield, conveniently located a gemstone's throw from the Berkeley Hotel, will tell you all about it. Years ago, Don fixed a watch for me for free - to tell the truth, it was a trade - which only goes to show he's a gentleman as well as a craftsman. Not to mention an artist, and his chosen medium is jewelry. Hey, Ms. Movie Star, Don's good looking enough to be a movie star, along the lines of Peter Coyote. He longer fixes watches, but he's still at the same location at 1308 E. Cary Street in historic Shockoe Slip. Custom jewelry ranging from $60 to the sky's the limit.

"The finest jewelry is still created by hand... one piece at a time. Each of our exquisite pieces is superbly crafted to your wishes, fitting your lifestyle and dreams. A creative approach to fine jewelry - unique - precious - timeless.

"Three in-house designer goldsmiths: Don Dransfield, a jewelry maker since 1973, blends his passion for gemstones and precious metals to create jewelry ou will love to call your own.

"Kristen Powers combines a background in painting with her skills as a goldsmith and designer to create special one-of-a-kind jewelery.

"Daniel Eaves is a master jeweler who uses his knowledge of jewelry styles and techniques to create new heirlooms for you to treasure."
