Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Candle
The Jewelsmith and Bright Black Candle collaboration unifies two small, artisan businesses whose values, vision and creative ingenuity align. Together, we developed a signature scent that captures the essence of jewelry: the stories it holds, the love it symbolizes, and the memories it preserves over time. Just as each piece of jewelry marks a moment or emotion, this custom fragrance is designed to evoke those same feelings, transforming personal history into an experience you can see, wear, and now, breathe in.

How can we help?
We’ve bought jewelry of all kinds (everything from wedding bands to bracelets to gifts to special occasion pieces) at Jewelsmith literally for decades. They have a wide range of pieces and prices, and specialize in the intersection of elegant and creative. They have an excellent selection but also are able to work with you on designing and creating unique pieces. And always friendly, helpful, service. Our go-to jeweler in Durham.
I am fortunate to have Jewelsmith in town. On my out of town and out of country travel, I have seen many fine original bracelets, pendants, earrings and rings, but only rarely make purchases. My hesitation lies in large part to the wonderful collection of unique jewelry, all hand crafted, right here in Durham. Jewelsmith's existing pieces are unparalleled, making finding the perfect gift easy...
Hello JewelSmith, I have just witnessed the BEST experience with having a special gift customization with your business. Mary was wonderful and pleasant in helping me and keeping me informed about the gift process. Thanks Jewelsmith/Mary
