ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) –For over 40 years, D.C. Creasman Jewelers has been crafting the finest custom jewelry in the Asheville area and beyond. Below is a little more about the company.

Question: What sets D.C. Creasman apart from other jewelers in town?

Answer: “You got the question, I got the answer,” owner David Creasman says confidently. Creasman has been in the jewelry business since he was 17, making a trustworthy name for himself from the very beginning.

What sets his family-owned business apart from the rest, he says, is that they do as much work as they can in-house. “We do everything on premises,” Creasman says. “We don’t send it out. We do send watch repairs out, but that’s it. We do everything here.”

He also says he makes sure to keep his prices reasonable.

“I know what things should be charged in this market due to the gold market and I try to keep it at least 25-30% less than any other jewelry.”

D.C. Creasman specializes in custom crafted jewelry, designer brand jewelry and they have on-site repair specialists.

About D.C. Creasman Jewelers:
