2008 Biltmore Visit Planner

Area Attractions ASHEVILLE J. Kimmel Fine Jewelry As a young man, Joe Kimmel turned his love for the geometric elegance of Art Deco into a series of jewelry design sketches. Today that early inspiration has found modern expression in the J. Kimmel collection of fine jewelry. The sketches from his youth have been luxuriously transformed into bold 23-karat gold and enamel masterpieces. The deep, glowing richness of the gold, the brilliant, pure color of the enamel, and the simple, timeless eloquence of the design combine to make a sophisticated statement of taste and quality on the human canvas. Pendants, bracelets, rings, cufflinks and more are available in a generous range of shapes, colors, and finishes.
