Burke Jewelers

86 South Main Street, Kilmarnock, Virginia, United States | Precious Metals

Burkes Fine Jewelers was established in 1969 by Dorothy and Fred Burke, Sr., and built on a simple premise: good old-fashioned service, superior craftsmanship and lasting friendships with our clients as, together, we celebrate those unforgettable moments. Eighteen years later, in 1987, I met their son, Fred, Jr. on a blind date, and we’ve been together ever since. Not only did I fall head-over-heels in love with Fred, but I also fell in love with his family, their business and the laid-back lifestyle of the Northern Neck, this magical peninsula flanked by the Rappahannock River, the Potomac and the Chesapeake Bay. Over the years, I’ve come to see that jewelry is more than an accessory. It symbolizes those timeless moments that reconnect us to our soul. It reminds us of what is truly important in life—our own personal love story—and it embodies the life of the one who wears it and the one who bestows it. Soon after our marriage, Fred, Jr. and I took over the business. Fred brought his training and expertise as a Master Jeweler. I brought my love of fine jewelry and all it has meant to my life, and my deep love for the land and the waters of the Northern Neck, symbolized in many of our pieces. Whether you're looking for a diamond engagement ring, or a piece of fine jewelry, such as one of our Northern Neck Knots, we are here to help you. We truly hope you enjoy our Collections and honestly wish you all the happiness and good health this life can offer.

There is no governing or licensing body for jewelry appraisal, so it is vitally important to choose an appraiser who is certified, with a high level of product knowledge and experience. At Burkes Fine Jewelry, we appraise jewelry, diamonds and gemstones on the premises. Our Certified Gemologist will provide photographs of your pieces, as well as a certified copy of your item. Also, when you purchase any one of our pieces, we will be glad to provide an appraisal upon request.
