Downtown gets a new jewelry store

Californians Dale and Sherry Bierfeldt are bringing a new jewelry store to downtown Colorado Springs. D Bierfeldt will open on July 31 with a grand opening on Aug. 5 at 107 E. Pikes Peak Ave., the former location of The French Store and Patsy's Candies. Dale Bierfeldt worked for Geiger Jewelers in Brea, Calif., for 17 years before deciding to move to Colorado and strike out on his own. "I looked at other parts of Colorado Springs," Dale Bierfeldt said, "but this is such a great location it became an easy decision to make." Bierfeldts will do custom manufacturing and repairs of all types in addition to its traditional retail operation. "We will have upper end quality jewelry and also some for people with a budget in mind," Dale Bierfeld said. "I want to be able to cater to anybody from the $100 purchase to $10,000."
