About Les Olson Jewelers: Artists at Play, Partners in Your Story
Author: 
Donna Cleason
At Les Olson Jewelers, we do more than create fine jewelry — we craft personal legacies and celebrate life's most meaningful moments. Proudly serving the greater Tampa Bay Area from our Palm Harbor location for over 45 years, we've built our reputation on custom jewelry design, expert repairs, and a deep commitment to honesty, quality, and client education. While our roots are firmly planted in Florida, our reach extends far beyond — we are honored to serve a growing international client base, with customers across the United States and in several other nations who trust us with their most treasured pieces.

Jewelry Design Studio: Where Vision Meets Craftsmanship

Our in-house jewelry design studio is the beating heart of our business. Led by award-winning designers, master jewelers, and graduate gemologists, we specialize in creating one-of-a-kind custom pieces that tell your unique story. Whether you're designing something entirely new or reimagining a treasured heirloom, we bring your vision to life using advanced CAD technology paired with time-honored traditional craftsmanship — and we involve you in every step of the creative process.

Our artistry has earned us the privilege of being the official jewelry sponsor for prestigious organizations and competitions, including:

  • Miss USA & Miss Teen USA — We presented custom crown pendants to the 2025 winners and sponsored the inaugural Chelsi Smith Miss Congeniality Award
  • Miss Florida USA & Miss Teen Florida USA — Our master jewelers Bob Shinsky and designer Rob Shinsky created stunning white gold and diamond crown rings for Lou Schieffelin (Miss Florida USA 2025) and Keira Morehead (Miss Florida Teen USA 2025)
  • WBFF (World Beauty Fashion Fitness) Worlds Miami 2025 — As official jewelry sponsor, we crafted championship rings for world champions including Dayana Dorman, Taisha Garcia, Amanda Ferreira, Danielle Dittmeier, and Walid Kherat
  • 2026 Valspar Championship — Proud sponsor of this prestigious PGA Tour event held right here in Palm Harbor at the Copperhead Course
These partnerships reflect the artistry, elegance, and excellence we bring to every piece we create — whether it's a championship ring for a world-class athlete, supporting world-class golf in our own backyard, or an engagement ring for a couple beginning their journey together.

  • Gold and precious metal buying
  • Estate jewelry evaluation and purchasing

  • GIA (Gemological Institute of America)
  • JA (Jewelers of America)
  • AGS (American Gem Society)
  • MJSA (Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America)
  • IJO (Independent Jewelers Organization)

Giving Back: Supporting Our Community

At Les Olson Jewelers, we believe that true success means lifting others up. We're proud to support charitable organizations that make a lasting impact in our community and beyond:

  • The BL Foundation — Providing comprehensive cancer support services for women
  • Johns Hopkins Children's Hospital — Offering critical pediatric care and advancing medical research
  • C.O.P.S. (Concerns of Police Survivors) — Supporting the families of fallen law enforcement officers
  • FEAST Food Pantry — Fighting hunger and food insecurity in our local community
We believe in giving back to the community that has supported us for over four decades, and we're honored to support causes that reflect the values we hold dear: compassion, service, and making a meaningful difference.

A Reputation Built on Trust — and a Team That Truly Cares

What sets Les Olson Jewelers apart isn't just our craftsmanship — it's our people and our approach. We foster a supportive, family-oriented environment where education, creativity, and personal growth are valued just as much as exceptional customer service. We don't just sell jewelry; we educate and empower our clients to make informed decisions that align with their values and budget.

Our goal isn't simply to complete a transaction — it's to build lasting relationships that span generations. We consider it our honor to serve as trusted partners during life's most significant moments, from engagements and weddings to anniversaries, milestones, and everything in between.

Whether we're creating a championship ring for a pageant queen, designing a custom engagement ring for a Palm Harbor couple, or restoring a cherished family heirloom, we approach every project with the same passion, expertise, and attention to detail.
