Jewelry Artists of Charlotte

The Jewelry Artists store is located 14825 John J. Delaney Drive, Suite 120 in Ballantyne Village.  It is open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday: 11-7; Friday and Saturday: 11-9.

Loosely ordered from most expensive to least and loosely ordered by style. Some of their websites do a wonderful job showing their jewerly, and some really don’t do the pieces justice.  So, Go, See.  You will thank me.  PS, not all these pieces will be at the store when you get there, some may be only on their website, some may be sold.  Just here to give you some idea of what the styles are.
