The Pearl Shop, in St. Augustine, Florida, is in its second decade in America's oldest city.  We have St. Augustine's most extensive collection of hand-made pearl and gemstone jewelry and offer the best prices in town.  Almost all of our jewelry is made in the shop at our custom bench, where you may join us in making jewelry.  We are also the only location in St. Augustine for picking a pearl from the oyster.  It has become a vacation tradition for many families, to come back to The Pearl Shop to pick another genuine Japanese Akoya salt-water oyster from our unique fountain and find one more beautiful pearl.  The fun is in the anticipation of finding your pearl.  If you like, after we pluck your pearl from the oyster, we will make your pearl into a piece of jewelry while you watch. We offer dozens of pearl settings in Sterling Silver, Vermeil Gold, or 14Kt gold. Our "Be the Artist" bench is enjoyed by dozens of people each week, who want to learn to make jewelry.  At our bench, you can design and make your own bracelets, anklets, necklaces or earrings. We have special pricing for youngsters, so they can be introduced to making jewelry.   We also create custom pieces of jewelry upon request, repair fine strung jewelry, and retie pearl necklaces.  If you need to replace a damaged or lost pearl earring, or make some piece of jewelry to match a favorite item, bring it to us.  Our Pearl Shop is also the premier source for affordable wedding jewelry in St. Augustine.  Our shop is located at the north end of Saint George Street, in the Arcade of Professional Artists and Craftsmen, near the Oldest Wooden School House and the City Gates. We are open seven days a week, closing only on Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.  We are always glad to tell the history of the pearl industry around the world.  Come in and let us share it with you.
