This year marks a meaningful milestone for Dana’s Fine Jewelry – 30 years of serving Newton, NC and the surrounding communities with fine craftsmanship, personal service and a deep respect for the stories jewelry can carry for generations. For Owner Dana Ramseur, the anniversary is both humbling and deeply personal.
“Just wow,” Dana said. “It seems just like yesterday. Honestly, it’s hard to believe how my dreams turned into reality. God was definitely on my side. Every thought and idea I had became a reality. It truly was a dream come true and I owe it all to Him, my family, friends and employees who are like family, as well as my lifelong customers. I never would have thought when I started that I’d be celebrating 30 years.”
Making a Dream Your Own
Looking back, one early memory still stands out to Dana. “Remodeling the store, making it my own, really made it real,” Dana recalled. Even more meaningful is the location itself. Dana’s Fine Jewelry remains in the same building where her grandparents once started their own dream. “Being able to stay in the same building my grandparents began in means everything to me,” commented Dana, reflecting a continuity of family, values and commitment.
Every Piece Tells a Story for Years to Come
For first-time visitors, the heart of Dana’s Fine Jewelry is immediately clear: passion paired with genuine care. “We truly listen,” Dana stated. “Customers have a vision, and we try to bring it to life. Jewelry is personal; whether it’s a gift, an engraved handprint, a redesigned heirloom or something new just for you. We want to help you find the perfect piece that will mean something to you for years to come. We’re your personal jeweler…your friends in the jewelry business.”
That approach has built decades of trust. “We connect with customers by learning their likes and dislikes and asking questions,” said Dana. “It’s their idea, their vision.” Custom design, a signature of the store, is where those visions become heirlooms. “You get to sit down one-on-one and hear the meaning behind a piece,” Dana commented. “It’s an honor when customers trust me with sentimental family jewelry.”
The Small Moments Make the Difference
Some of the most rewarding moments arrive years later. “When a customer says a design is better than expected, that is special,” stated Dana. “Or, when a ring you designed years ago is resized and passed down to a granddaughter, that is what jewelry is about. A gift you can wear, love and pass down for generations.”
Located in the Newton, NC area, Dana’s Fine Jewelry has grown alongside its community. “We’ve supported many organizations and always give back to local charities,” Dana commented. “If you have a locally owned business, you should give back. We love coming up with new ideas to raise money for groups in the community.”
To thank the community, the store is hosting a big anniversary celebration. “It’s a celebration with food, door prizes, giveaways and jewelry drawings,” said Dana. “It’ll be festive and we always have surprises.” The celebration is on Friday, February 6th from 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and Saturday, February 7th from 10:00 a.m. – 4 p.m.
The Future is as Bright as a New Diamond
Looking ahead, Dana remains focused on growth and learning. “Not just selling jewelry, but educating consumers about it,” Dana stated. And, what does she hope people feel when they leave the store? “Happy that they found a friend in the jewelry business; someone who listens and truly cares.”
Dana’s Fine Jewelry is located at 108 North Main Avenue, Newton, NC. Hours of operation: Monday – Friday 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.; Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
