About Us
Say goodbye to boring jewelry and say goodbye to overpriced jewelry because at BeJeweled we believe everyone deserves fine quality jewelry that is real and affordable. For over 30 years we have been on a mission to source out beautiful handmade artistic jewelry that is skillfully crafted by artisans from around the world and bring them to you at a reasonable price.
Starting back when I was in college studying Fine Art, I took a job selling jewelry and fell in love with the artistry that goes into making every piece of jewelry. I fell in love with gemstones and was fascinated on how nature could create such beauty. But not only that, how we can take these elements of gems and metals to create an item we treasure. Jewelry is not a necessity but a luxury we desire. Jewelry is part of the special occasions in our life, and we wear our jewelry to honor those memories. Giving jewelry as a gift is a privilege and makes us feel good.
My husband grew up watching his father make jewelry and selling jewelry. Together we helped him grow his business from a couple of stores to 15 stores. We put in a lot of time learning the business and learning what it took to make a store great. We learned listening is more important than speaking. We learned always going beyond the expected to earn trust and that every detail from greeting a guest to thanking them sincerely is important.
We opened our first store in 2002 in downtown Norfolk, Virginia and we have been very fortunate to have been successful to then open a store in Virginia Beach in 2014. In that time, we have made so many friends within the community and we feel so honored by those who travel the distance to shop with us. Being a destination has made us go even farther than trying to be excellent at what we do but to also make our store a home that you want to go home to.
Though jewelry is the thing that drives us, we have also made our business a great gift shop with a wonderful selection of special greeting cards and unique artisan gifts. We are proud to be the one stop shop for your gift buying. We try to make gift buying easy and always glad to offer gift wrapping for your items.
So please put us to work to make your gift buying easier. Let us help you find the perfect piece of jewelry for that special birthday or anniversary. And allow us the pleasure to make your shopping experience memorable.
Sincerely, Leslie and Russell
