The Shelton family travels out of state to find selective pieces of high quality. They listen to the needs of the customer. Men's, women's, and children's jewelry and watches are found in this quaint coastal family business.

Celebrating over 70 years in business, the Gulf Coast of Mississippi trust Shelton Jewelers with their valuables. "When selling jewelry we are also selling trust with each piece to be high quality that lasts," says Cathy Reed, owner of Shelton Jewelers. She is the daughter of founder, W.P. Shelton. "We re-design or re-work old jewelry and bring it into the new millennium to design the unimaginable", she continues. Shelton Jewelers custom design mounts for gems of all types and sizes creating tiny pieces of one-of-a-kind wearable art.
