Charleston Gems was opened in 1978 by Dennis Wolfe. The store opened strictly
for diamond appraising, but as Dennis's reputation grew, so did the demand for
his store to carry quality merchandise. He then decided that the only
merchandise that he would offer his customers would be designed and handmade
by none other than himself.
"In making my own merchandise I can whole heartily assure that my customers
are getting the best quality for their money".
So Charleston Gems as we know it today was born. Thirty(plus) years later
Mr. Wolfe will still come out and personally thank you for your business and
make sure your visit was to your satisfaction.
Dennis Wolfe started in the jewelry business over 35 years ago, working in a
local retail store. After receiving a certification in Gemology from the
Gemological Institute of America, he decided it was time to open his own store.
Shortly after, he began apprenticing with Master Goldsmiths. Now a Master
Goldsmith himself, he looks forward to bringing his imagination to life every
day.
The Charleston Gems staff consist of Martha, who is the office manager and has
been trained in jewelry design. The store itself offers an extensive line of
loose diamonds, engagement rings, wedding bands, diamond earrings and pendants
and our own line of Charleston and Nautical themed jewelry.
