Whitmire Fine Jewelry

Whitmire Fine Jewelry was founded by Pawleys Island’s first jeweler, John Henry Whitmire, in 1972. Now proudly owned and operated by locals Jason and Keenan Harn, Whitmire Fine Jewelry continues John Henry’s legacy of crafting exquisite coastal keepsakes—ranging from sterling silver and gold seashell charms to gemstone-studded statement pieces. Visit Whitmire Fine Jewelry at The Hammock Shops Village for the best shopping experience in Pawleys Island.

John Henry Whitmire spent decades forging the connection between artistry and local coastal beauty, first inspired by his time at the University of South Carolina and the Penland School of Crafts. Though John Henry passed away in 2022, his influence remains woven into every design, from the treasured Whitmire Originals collection.

Today, owners Jason and Keenan Harn honor John Henry’s pioneering spirit and commitment to design. Under their stewardship, Whitmire Fine Jewelry remains a destination for authentic Lowcountry craftsmanship. Guests are invited to discover the store’s signature pieces—sterling silver pendants, gold shells, and pearl-accented palm trees—that capture the essence of Pawleys Island living.

Rooted in community ties and a passion for exceptional artistry, Whitmire Fine Jewelry embraces both locals and visitors eager to take home a tangible piece of the coast. Whether you’re seeking a timeless memento, a fully custom design, or a meaningful gift for someone special, trust the tradition and expertise upheld by Jason and Keenan Harn as they carry on John Henry’s enduring vision of beach-inspired jewelry.
