Lakewood Jewelers

Lakewood Jewelers is a family-owned, full-service jewelry store on University Boulevard West in Jacksonville's Lakewood neighborhood, offering traditional, unique and customized fine jewelry alongside gifts and jewelry repair. Founder David A. Breitmoser, a GIA-trained Graduate Jeweler Gemologist, uses computer-aided design software to render custom jewelry pieces in three dimensions before they're made, letting clients review and approve proofs of a design digitally throughout the process rather than only seeing a finished piece. The shop also offers jewelry appraisal and design services, noting that pieces generally need reappraisal roughly every three years to stay properly insured against loss. Located on the north side of University Boulevard West near San Jose Boulevard, next to a neighborhood cafe, the store positions itself around personalized service for gifts and custom design work rather than a large standardized inventory. As a jewelry designer and appraiser as well as a repair shop, Lakewood covers a fairly wide span of jewelry services under one small, family-run roof.
