Kneucraft Fine Jewelry and Design Coming to Fountains at Gateway Plans Mid-June Opening
Kneucraft Fine Jewelry & Design has leased a 1,484 SF square-foot retail space on the ground floor of One Fountain Plaza at Fountains at Gateway, announced developer Scott Graby, president of Hearthstone Properties.
Kneucraft Fine Jewelry & Design is a family owned and operated jewelry store that designs and hand-fabricates bridal, special-occasion and casual jewelry as well as high-end, one-of-a-kind pieces. The store also carries upscale watch lines.
Kneucraft has been in operation for 28 years in upstate New York, in the city of Plattsburgh. Owners Shawn and Kimberly Kneussle and their son and head jeweler Ryan Kneussle are relocating the business to Murfreesboro.
“We are excited about opening our new jewelry store and also making our home in Murfreesboro,” said Shawn Kneussle. “We love the area and the people we’ve met here and have found the ideal location for our new store at Fountains at Gateway.”
“As custom jewelers, we personally handle every facet of the business – from creating custom-designed engagement and bridal sets to restoring or repurposing dated jewelry into a piece that can be worn for generations,” added Kneussle. “Customers are often surprised to learn that a custom piece can be designed to fit their taste, gemstone and metal choice as well as their budget. We compete with the finest jewelry lines available, but each piece of jewelry we create is unique and reasonably priced.”
The buildout of Kneucraft Fine Jewelry & Design is underway and slated to open in mid June.
“A jewelry store has been on Fountains’ ‘shopping list’ since the beginning, but we didn’t want just any jewelry store,” said Graby. “It needed to be a family-run, independent shop with a story behind it, and with a strong craftsman mentality. It was hard to find the perfect fit until Shawn and Kim came to visit and checked all the boxes. We fell in love with their family and their passion for their craft, and we can’t wait to introduce them to Murfreesboro. We placed them next to e.Allen’s clothing boutique and look forward to synergy between the two shops as well as with the View at Fountains (our new conference and event center), which is playing host to a growing number of Middle Tennessee weddings.”
