What we do:
We specialize in custom fine gold jewelry. We can create a design with you from scratch using stones we have here in house or we could even repurpose your stones and gold into a brand new bespoke piece of jewelry! We also have many designs here in our inventory ready to go home with you today! Come in and try on different pieces and let's get started on your project soon!

Our Story:
A little over 50 years ago, Jim Sim Benton started Bentons Jewelry after becoming familiar with the artistic community in Salado while exhibiting his art in the Salado Art Fair held every year in Pace Park. For half a century, Jim created beautiful fine gold jewelry serving patrons that became multi-generational!

In 1999, Bob Hargrove started working for Jim and over the years, Jim apprenticed Bob in jewelry production but also in running a business. In 2018, Bob and his wife, Laura bought the store from Jim and strive to continue the artistry of goldsmithing and are proud to continue the legacy that flourished with Jim.
