A Charleston Legacy

Three Generations,
One Family Name

Louis Garfield opened his doors on King Street in 1922 — not far from the steeples and cobblestones that define this city. Over a century later, the family name still means what it always has: honest counsel, extraordinary craft, and jewelry built to outlast a lifetime.

His son Allen joined the trade in 1967, building the business into a Lowcountry household name with locations across Charleston County. Today that legacy continues under the same roof at 1711 Savannah Highway — with the same unhurried, no-pressure approach the family has practiced for 103 years.

A Charleston Tradition

The Ring Before
the Ring Ceremony

For generations, Citadel cadets have walked through our doors — nervous, excited, and certain — searching for the ring that would change everything. It has been our quiet privilege to be part of that moment, and thousands like it, for over 100 years.

We don't rush. We don't pressure. We listen. Whether your milestone is an engagement, an anniversary, a graduation, or simply a gift that says everything you feel — the Garfield family has been helping Charlestonians find the right words in gold and gemstone since 1922.
