Blakeman’s Fine Jewelry has always done and always will do the right thing. This is more important to us than any other aspect of our business.
Don Blakeman, our founder, recently earned a master’s degree in leadership and ethics from John Brown University, so you can see how high a priority this is for us.
You’ll notice, when you enter our store, our jeweler’s workroom and that the entire space is open and comfortable. This transparency is an essential characteristic of our business. You can browse through the elegant jewelry at your leisure, and the Blakeman family is on the premises to answer your questions.
