We invited Casey Tawfik, Khames’ wife, to tell us more. Best Jewelry Store - Virginia Beach Khames Jewelers is a family owned and run jewelry store offering custom CAD design, jewelry and watch repair, GIA appraisals, on site engraving and laser welding. Khames discusses the firm’s philosophy and expertise that sets it apart from its competitors. “Here at Khames Jewelers, our philosophy is simple; we believe in treating our clients as we would like to be treated ourselves. Whether it is a new face that seems uncomfortable stepping into a fine jewelry store for the first time, to the seasoned fine gift giver, we aim to give the same service to each and every person entering our store. “What really sets our firm apart from the competition is that Khames is a fifth generation jeweler; he has been working the bench since the age of eight. He grew up in Cairo, Egypt and learned jewelry making “the old way” and sometimes modern technology cannot obtain the same result as old world skills. With his expansive experience dealing with a myriad of stones, materials and styles makes him a unique ‘gem’ in Virginia Beach. As such other jewelry stores have been known to send their customers with a job that was out of their experience level. Recently we have noticed that a lot more people are interested in ‘recycling’ their diamonds these days, that’s where Khames’ custom design comes in to play, with the customers’ diamond we can re-create the original or make something new exactly to the customers’ desire.” Offering friendly and reliable service is at the heart of Khames Jewelers’ philosophy, and moving forward this will remain its focus as it adapts and evolves to meet the needs of its clients, as Casey concludes. “E-commerce is coming to our website, enabling our customers from near and far to access our stock and order online, providing them with even better service and ensuring that their needs continue to be met in the ever digital marketplace. We are proud to offer great service, remembering our regular clients, their families and their tastes, ensuring we offer a truly bespoke service to everyone we work with, and this will remain our approach over the months and years to come.” K Company: Khames Jewelers Email:casey@ khamesjewelers.com Web Address: www. khamesjewelers.com Address:1340 N.
