Westover Jewelers is a jewelry store in Lynchburg, Virginia. The store offers custom jewelry design, jewelry repair, professional appraisals, and photo restoration, and is currently operated by Virginia Davis, a second-generation bench jeweler with more than forty years of experience at the bench. It carries an in-house assortment of jewelry including exclusive lines such as Nicole Barr enamel jewelry, Marathon Company pieces, and the Westover Watch, alongside classics like pearls and gold or silver chains. Westover Jewelers holds a rating of 4.80 from its customers. Hours are Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, with weekends closed.

The shop has served Lynchburg since 1955, and the building itself is older still. Originally built in 1921 as a pharmacy, it was bought in 1927 by B.C. Davis, who opened Westover Barbershop in the space and worked there alongside his son Bill. In 1955, Bill began repairing watches in the back room after hours and gradually added jewelry repair to his trade. By 1970, Bill and his wife Nancy had converted the shop into Westover Jewelers and ran it together until 1997, when their youngest daughter Virginia, also a bench jeweler, took over with her husband Bill Davis. Custom design work is shaped using CounterSketch CAD/CAM technology, a system Virginia has worked with for more than fifteen years. Customers receive an accurate estimate before any work begins, and in-stock showcase pieces are typically priced below current gold market value.

The store sits on Memorial Avenue in the Westover neighborhood, about a tenth of a mile from Westover Neighborhood Park and the Oakley Avenue intersection, with Wythe Road a short distance beyond. New Vistas School is within a few blocks.

The 4.80 rating reflects a strong and consistent track record of customer satisfaction built across decades of bench work and personal service in Lynchburg.
