Business of the Week
This week’s Lancaster by the Bay Chamber Business of the Week celebrates a local power couple with a passion for community, craftsmanship, and coastal living—Fred and Karen Burke.
For over 56 years, Burkes Fine Jewelers has served the Northern Neck with elegance, care, and unmatched quality. With locations in Kilmarnock and Warsaw, they specialize in custom jewelry, exclusive designer lines, and their signature River Collection—inspired by life along the Chesapeake Bay. It’s no surprise they’ve been voted Best Fine Jeweler in Virginia for 12 years in a row.
But Fred and Karen didn’t stop there. Enter Fin & Pearl, a boutique born from their desire to bring timeless, smart-casual fashion to Kilmarnock. Named after their grandchildren, this chic shop offers stylish pieces that never go out of style.
And finally, there’s WATR—short for Weekends At The River—a lifestyle brand that brings river-inspired provisions, gifts, and gear to locals and visitors alike.
Three unique businesses. One shared vision. All rooted in community.
Stop by West Church Street in Kilmarnock and see why Fred and Karen Burke’s passion is the Northern Neck’s treasure.
