The palmetto tree is more than just a symbol of coastal living.

With our Palmetto Tree Collection, capture the spirit of Charleston with South Carolina's most iconic symbol.
Imported from the Carribean, the pineapple was a rare delicacy on the tables of early Charleston colonists. Symbolizing hospitality and welcome, this fruit has been used extensively in art, decor, and fashion from the 18th century to the present. With our Pineapples Collection, you can continue the southern tradition of warmth, kindness and hospitality.

We have been unable to make our annual trips to Charleston the last two years. By phone ordered a pair of Palmetto Tree Earrings. Received them to day and they are perfect. Have been shopping with Gold Creations for many years. Have always been happy with the service and have always enjoyed the employees over the years (Owners included). Hope to be back to Charleston in the near future. I have and will continue to recommend Gold Creations to family and friends.

While shopping in the city market we came across this store. Little did we know we would be able to find my sisters bridal set for her wedding. It was a treat for sure but with their customer service and beautiful jewelry, we couldn’t resist! These pieces will now become heirlooms and we are thrilled.

UPDATED: Previous post was in concern for my experience at Gold Creations. Since that post the owner has made personal contact to share the history and philosophy of their business. I truly feel this family owned business cares for every customer. If he can take the time to apologize and get to know me, I appreciate the care given to their products aa well. I HAD to increase my rating and will be a FOREVER customer after his kindness and time.
Great jewelry and knowledgeable sales associate. Slightly disappointed in the level of service given to myself versus the Caucasian friend I was with!!

We love this shop! The staff is amazing- whenever you stop in and whether you’re browsing or buying. I have a rather large collection of the Rice Beads and get non stop compliments on them. I loved them so much I went and bought my mom a collection too. We’ve been back multiple time since we are locals and they are always my first choice for new jewelry.

I saw an advertisement for Gold Creations in the "Official Visitors Guide" for Charleston and tore the page out hoping to find the store to purchase a 'gate' charm. They are in the city market in an air conditioned inside shop (little harder to find as the stores are facing outward right now) - but they are one of the only jewelers with gold pieces. Patrick was so helpful and informative about their jewelry, Charleston history and sightseeing. My mom and I each purchased a (different) gate charm. Such a nice keepsake - we love them! They carry many other lovely jewelry items as well. Walking throughout

Great experience with this store ! I traveled from Philly to Charleston a few years ago and bought a Charleston gate necklace for myself. I had to help my brother find a gift for his girlfriend so I suggested getting her a gate necklace. I emailed the store and Katherine was so helpful! She sent me multiple pictures of the different sizes and chain options. When I finally called to place my order I spoke with Bethany who was just as helpful and so pleasant. I would recommend them to anyone and their jewelry is so unique and beautiful!

The kindness, quality, and knowledge of the staff at Gold Creations is unbeatable. You will feel like a family member after 5 minutes in their shop. It is a stop I look forward to every year when I am in Charleston. I treat myself to a new piece of jewelry every time I visit. So many friends have received gifts from this shop also. DO NOT miss Gold Creations in the Marketplace. The rice beads are so incredible and so is the story behind them. You will definitely find something you LOVE there.
