Paula Dawkins and the goldsmiths of Jewels That Dance have listened to our customers and created an enchanting collection of engagement rings, reflective of this beautiful part of the country where we live. The collection offers a variety of styles; all very feminine, some with rosy shades of sunrise to flatter soft skin tones, others with details plucked right from the garden. These organic, playful, one of a kind rings are cast in rose, yellow or white gold and set with a variety of diamonds. Along with round brilliant diamonds, the collection features rose cut and colored diamonds, offering endless combination of natural beauty.

This collection, born from the creative spirit of this area and the rich culture of fine handmade artisans, is romantic, timeless and of heirloom quality. The collection offers both rings organic in feel and those that are sleek, with impeccable details and clean lines. All these rings are created for today’s women with active lifestyles and a taste for adventure. Best of all, every step of the creative process is completed here in our studio, each ring receiving personal attention from our dedicated goldsmiths, goldsmiths who find joy in their work and take pride in the masterpieces they create.

Life doesn’t come with a manual, it comes with a mother!

We, at Jewels That Dance, honor all you mothers, you supermoms, you stepmoms, you mothers of community and of course, Mother Earth.

Here’s just a little background about the day…

During the ancient annual Greek spring festival the Greeks honored Rhea, the mother of many deities of Greek mythology. The Romans celebrated a spring festival called Hilaria dedicated to Cybele, a mother goddess. Celebrations honoring the Mother permeate our worldwide collective narrative. In the United States a precursor to Mother’s Day came from abolitionist and suffragette Julia Ward Howe who wrote a “Mother’s Day Proclamation” in 1870 as a call to action that asked mothers to unite in promoting world peace. Mother’s Day was officially adopted as a holiday in this country in 1914 when Woodrow Wilson signed a measure officially establishing the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

Enjoy Your Day!

Each year, in celebration of Valentine’s Day, Jewels That Dance offers our customers a limited edition cloisonné enamel heart designed by Facher Fusager of MAGICK Design.  Each of this year’s hearts has been individually hand crafted using 24k gold wire and up to 10 layers of enamel, each layer fired at 1450 degrees Fahrenheit.  The colors and design are magnificent!

A MAGICK heart mixed with Cupid’s own magic insures a Valentine’s Day to remember.  We’re also celebrating Valentine’s Day with our annual Have-A -Heart Sale.  The sale lasts until Valentine’s Day, is store-wide and many lovely pieces of jewelry are up to half off.   Stop in and be dazzled – or check out some sale items on the website.

Any way you celebrate – celebrate LOVE!

56 ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES
that are
Perfect For You!

Each piece has its own unique story

Jewels That Dance has just unveiled 56 exquisite ONE-OF-A-KIND pieces of fine jewelry, available right now in its Haywood Street store in Downtown Asheville. Award-winning jewelry designer Paula Dawkins says this is the first time in her decades of designing jewelry where every single piece is unique. “I was able to work with gemstones that I love and use them in entirely new ways.” Paula also designed pieces that are solely made of precious metals.

Some of Paula’s designs were inspired by gemstones she has held for years, just waiting for the right opportunity to create a beautiful piece of jewelry. Others were based on sketches she made years ago awaiting the right time to create that one perfect piece. The number 56 is twice a perfect number, and it is also a collection of beautiful and original one-of-a-kind jewelry designs that will complement your collection.

Paula’s designs were crafted into their finished form by the talented team at Jewels That Dance. All of their work is done in-house – from concept to completion. That alone makes them unique among jewelry stores in western North Carolina.

This is the ultimate dream of jewelry lovers,
to own an original and finely crafted piece of jewelry that will NEVER be seen anywhere else. A signature piece you can make your own. Pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets.

ONE OF A KIND!

When each is sold, there will be no more available.

If your travel plans don’t include Asheville right now, please call us at 828-254-5088 and we will send you pictures of these beautiful designs. We cannot wait to share them with you!

What is a Gemstone Round table?

It is part education, part treasure hunt and all fun. The recipe is simple. Begin with the company of interesting people, add good food and drink, sprinkle liberally with loose colored gemstones, and garnish with the lore and history of each stone.

How does it work?

Remember when you were a kid and called dibs on something you liked? That’s what happens at a Collectors’ Round table. Guests call “dibs” on their favorite stones.

You can purchase an heirloom-quality gemstone in a wide range of prices and discuss jewelry design at the Round table, but there is no pressure to buy.

We want you to have a good time, learn more about your favorite gemstones, and experience nature’s masterpieces in ways few people ever do.

Why is it fun?

This is literally a hands-on event. The gems are passed around the table while Jim shares information about each gem’s history, nuances, and the intricacies of its cut.

It’s a unique opportunity to learn more about these natural wonders.
