Yellow gold fashion, layering necklaces and custom creations currently are hugely popular jewelry selections, verifies Brentwood Jewelry & Gifts founder Salem Emamalie. 

Statement pieces, bangle bracelets, adjustable rings for stacking and pendants all make great holiday gift ideas; however so do superb staple classics, such as diamond solitaire stud earrings, diamond hoops and diamond tennis bracelets. 

Salem says the Brentwood team also is known for world-renowned watches, popular due to their innovation, distinctive details and precision.

In fact, at press time, Salem says the team was planning a customer gathering at the store to host a representative from Bremont Watch Company to occur during November so the Bremont expert can address questions and share the company's special edition collection. Bremont watches are produced by an award-winning, British luxury watch company whose managers indicate they are inspired by a love and passion for aviation, engineering and adventure. Founded in 2002, Bremont is based in England, producing watches that are "tested beyond endurance." They are created to be highly durable and precise tool watches, designed to be a reliable companion on missions or in any environment. The designers state that their watches are relied upon by more than 400 military squadrons worldwide. Customers like their eye-catching designs, too, Salem adds. 

Brentwood Jewelry also carries watch brands, such as Muhle Glashutte, MeisterSinger, Hamilton, Longines, Tissot, Oris, Raymond Weil, and Luminox, in addition to pre-owned luxury watches. 

The store encompasses the third generation of this family-owned, fine jewelry business started in 1967. They serve Brentwood, Nashville, Green Hills, Franklin, Cool Springs, Murfreesboro, Hendersonville and Mount Juliet, in addition to online purchases. They also handle custom jewelry work, one-of-a-kind concepts, appraisals, engraving and full-service repairs at 7012 Church St. E.

"All repairs are handled on-site by a master craftsman," Salem adds. "We can fix and make just about anything you can think of."

From concepts to completion, Brentwood Jewelry & Gifts specialists say they are eager to help their customers find exactly what they want. To that end, they intentionally introduce pieces from popular designers. Earlier this year, they added the Anna Zuckerman collection, who is a designer dedicated to leading the way in defining sustainable demi-fine jewelry to give customers the same precious look and feel of luxury jewelry at a price point they can feel good about while helping to reduce ecological damage and destruction from material wastage. Repurposing salvaged lab-grown diamond and gem materials that would otherwise go to waste, Anna Zuckerman Luxury creates new beauty while extending the life cycle of already existing materials.

Examples of other jewelry designer brands they carry are: Charles Garnier, Maridini, IBGoodman, Kattan Fine Jewelry, Lighter Moments, Fope, Parade Designs, Malo Bands, Salem E, William Henry and Stuller. Notably, 'Salem E' is Salem's personally created collection. 

"We pride ourselves on impeccable customer service, unique jewelry and a fine selection of gifts," he says. "We’re local and we're focused. We know the quality of customer service we offer cannot be surpassed. We’re a little old-fashioned. We like building relationships with our customers and have made many friends over the last 50 years, all while adapting to fit the increasing needs of Middle Tennessee."

For additional gifts, they offer money clips, customs knives, cufflinks, hand-crafted ink pens, key chains, corded bracelets and tie bars.

The Brentwood Jewelry team also loves assisting couples in identifying the perfect engagement rings. They thoroughly understand the attributes and importance of building an engagement ring.

"We're thankful to have thrived in a growing Brentwood," reflects Salem.
