About us and what We Do

At Les Olson Jewelers, we do more than sell fine jewelry — we craft personal legacies. Proudly serving the greater Tampa Bay Area 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 local, our reach is global — we are honored to serve a growing international client base, with customers across the country and in several other nations who trust us with their most meaningful pieces.
Jewelry Design Studio: Where Vision Meets Craftsmanship
Our in-house jewelry design studio is the heart of our business. Led by award-winning designers, master jewelers, and graduate gemologists, we specialize in creating one-of-a-kind custom pieces, whether you’re designing something entirely new or redesigning a treasured heirloom. Using advanced CAD technology and traditional craftsmanship, we bring your ideas to life — all while involving you in the process from start to finish.
We are proud to be the official jeweler and crown ring designer for Miss Florida USA and Miss Teen Florida USA, a reflection of the artistry, elegance, and excellence we bring to every piece we create.
