Sholdt first opened its doors in 1935 behind the vision and leadership of founder Milton Sholdt. Milton Sholdt, Jr. expanded upon his father's vision, building the business until his sons Brian and Dustin took over. More recently, Brian's son Tyler came on board, representing the fourth generation.  

Each successive generation has built upon the previous one's commitment to creating finely crafted jewelry. In recent years, Sholdt's modern yet timeless designs have experienced tremendous critical praise throughout the jewelry industry.  

Sholdt still uses much of the same equipment it used to create beautiful rings over 70 years ago, in the very same family-owned Seattle location. In addition, many of Sholdt's bench jewelers have been creating exquisite rings for Sholdt for over 30 years.  

Today, after more than 70 years, Sholdt has grown to become an internationally recognized workshop for fine jewelry design, creation and service.
