In the News

For more than 80 years, our family has been part of Nashville's jewelry story, from Berry's Jewelry & Loan downtown to our studio on Harding Pike. Along the way, local news and the jewelry trade press have covered our work at the bench, our fight for small businesses in Belle Meade, and the Bench Jewelers Laser & Technology Conference, the educational side of our business, where Scott teaches laser techniques to jewelers from across the country.
