About Bark Avenue Jewelers
Bark Avenue Jewelers was created for
the love of your dog. Your pooch is
truly a family member and sometimes
easier to deal with than some of the
human members. They too deserve the
finer things in life.
The founders, Paul and Rachele Bierker
have alwaysreferred to their dog Charlie as their
first child. Combining years of experience in
jewelry and design, they felt it was
time to take their business to the dogs.
With an emphasis on quality and customer
happiness (much more than mere satisfaction),
Bark Avenue Jewelers combines the latest
styles with pride in product and craftsmanship
and then mix in a little fun!
