Handcrafted Jewelry Since 1966
C B Stark Jewelers has been crafting exceptional jewelry since 1966, when Cheryl Barbara Stark opened her first studio on Martha's Vineyard.

We specialize in creating unique pieces inspired by coastal living, including our signature Vineyard Collection and Jaws 50th Anniversary Charm series. With over five decades of experience, we combine traditional techniques with contemporary design to produce handcrafted jewelry that tells personal stories.Our services include custom design, antique restoration, diamond services, and jewelry repair, all performed with meticulous attention to detail. We maintain deep connections to Martha's Vineyard's heritage while serving customers with integrity and expertise. Our team understands the importance of creating pieces that become cherished heirlooms, whether through our iconic Shark's Tooth pendants or personalized charm collections. We remain committed to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction, operating with the same dedication to artistry that Cheryl established in 1966.
