Chris and Jim are institutions in the Danville community. Their store is always immaculate and has gorgeous and unique jewelry. I've shopped there for 25 years and they continue to solve my problem of finding special gifts for loved ones on short notice. They are also known for custom work and one-off art/jewelry. I'll add that they have shown the ability to adjust to a budget as needed, which at times, is handy. Love Christe James!

Awesome awesome awesome, i called and asked if someone can come over and cut off a resident's ring in an assisted living community. within 5minutes, the owner showed up to our community and it was done. He was so very sweet and caring to the residents. I was very impressed and proud that there are still caring people in the world like Jim Edmund.

I love all of my beautiful jewelry from Christe James. My husband and I have purchased our wedding rings and my wedding band here and were very happy! We love this family run business! Amy, Jim and Chris are always extremely helpful, warm, friendly and professional. My husband loved the lounge area he got to hang out and have a beer while he was debating on his big purchase before he popped the question.very cool! We highly recommend Christe James as your go-to local family run jewelry store!
