Our Story

For over 45 years, Whitten's Fine Jewelry has been a trusted and respected name in the jewelry industry. Our story began in 1977 when R. Craig Whitten, a Wilmington native, opened his first jewelry design studio. Craig's passion for creating exquisite, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry led him to establish Whitten's Fine Jewelry in 1985. Since then, we have been dedicated to providing our customers with exceptional service, a wide range of high-quality jewelry, and expert craftsmanship.
