Sanibel is my favorite place to vacation and we have been coming here for 40 years. We discovered Congress jewelers many years ago and I have been able to take a piece of Sanibel home with me many times thanks to the beautiful sea life collection. We have always felt welcomed by the friendly family-like atmosphere of all the staff. They are very knowledgeable and are eager to share the stories behind each piece of jewelry. The details in each piece designed by them are amazing. Congress jewelers is a wonderful unique experience and we make sure we stop in every year when we are on the island.
This is a must do on Sanibel Island! They have beautiful, high quality sea life jewelry, in addition to other pieces. We shop at congress every time we visit sanibel. This year, I had the diamond from my engagement ring reset, and they did an amazing job! Melissa and Scott Congress are the owners, and they are the nicest people you could ever meet.
I've been looking for a particular necklace for sometime when I walked into this shop and found exactly what I was looking for. The sales woman was knowledgeable about the silver I wanted and let me try on several chain lengths before I settled on one. The owner also talked to us at length about the Spanish coin collection they feature. It was delightful.
The staff was wonderful and Melissa was the very best. Offered choices and was expert on her advice. Prices were more than fair. The jewelry was exquisite and some were designed and made in house. Never have I seen so much to choose from. I wish I lived closer......
It was a pleasure shopping for a college graduation gift at Congress. Carlos offered a number of great suggestions. The Atocha Ghost Galleon Sea King Ring is truly the perfect gift for this young man.
From the minute we walked through the door Linda was very helpful and welcoming. She made our visit so wonderful. She went out of her way to show us the pieces we were interested in. It was a great experience.
Outstanding customer service! They were able to repair and clean my engagement ring beautifully and with high standards! We plan to purchase our wedding bands from Congress in the future. Their selection of jewelry is absolutely beautiful and most importantly of the finest quality at competitive pricing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for your next timeless piece.
Wonderful jewelry,wonderful people, wonderful service.
I have never enjoyed spending money more! Such pleasant people, welcoming atmosphere and what matters most is I got what I needed! No problem!
Melissa and the staff was so kind and helpful. Beautiful merchandise. I would love one of everything!!!!! Quick and impeccable repairs / custom work!!
Thank you

Wonderful shop on Sanibel! Absolutely beautiful jewelry and SUCH friendly service. Melissa and Scott know their stuff and will help you find the piece (or pieces) that are right for you! Take home a special memento from paradise.
The staff here treat you like family. They are patient and present options to make sure your wishes are met. Love this dog friendly place!
Very nice employees, willing to work with you to make you, the customer satisfied, if they can give a discount they will. They have BEAUTIFUL, good quality pieces. Very pleasant experience, I will definitely be back next time I am on the island.
Had a bad interaction with one saleswoman who was super dismissive of my sisters and I, despite the fact that we are all paying customers and I am definitely old enough to be in a jewelry store and have purchased fine jewelry for myself and others. You shouldn't have to be over the age of thirty and rich-looking to get attention in a jewelry store. We had charms sautered onto our charm bracelets and, unfortunately, they screwed up the placement of two charms and one of mine has now fallen off.
Walking into Congress Jewelers is always an enjoyable experience. The customer service is excellent along with the variety of jewelry, especially their Sealife line. We look foward to visiting with Alex each time we're in town.
Scot was a pleasure to work with. He provided timely responses, great customer service, and offered beautiful rings to choose from. I would highly recommend working with him for any of your jewelry needs.
We have been dealing with Congress Jewelers for 30 years.
Made the usual stop in to have our jewelry inspected and cleaned.
Always innovating, new designs, and quality set Congress apart from everyone else.
Love stopping in and talking with Melissa!
Buy your real jewelry here!
The best jewelry store we have ever had the privilege of doing business with. The staff fantastic and does not try to talk you into anything. Alex is among the best
Congress Jewelers has been my Jeweler for
The last 23 years. Best customer service. Treat you like family. The Roberto Coin speciality section is beautiful. They work with you to create that one of a kind piece.
I highly recommend Congress Jeweler on Periwinkle Way on Sanibel Island
Beautiful place, beautiful jewelry, always a wonderful experience!
Beautifully designed jewelry. I will definitely stop by during my next visit to Sanibel Island.
I have been coming to Congress Jewelers for over 30 years. The staff has always been friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The quality and artisic detail in their jewelry is truly a reflection of their love and commitment to Sanibel Island.
Scot (owner) and Linda (sales rep) of Congress Jewelers made my engagement ring shopping experience so smooth. I was extremely impressed from the moment I walked into the store store with the customer service and attention to detail I received. Additionally, the selection in their store is truly one-of-a-kind! I had been looking for a sapphire engagement ring at several different jewlers and this location had a much larger and finer selection than I had seen previously. Additionally, their prices were very reasonable for the quality of their jewlery. I highly recommend Congress Jewelers and I know I will be buying more pieces from them in the future!
In a word "outstanding ". Congress Jewelers is one of the best I have visited in my sixty two years. I have been to many jewelers and this has been one of the best experiences...not only of the people but in the quality of the jewelry. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful in making a great and memorable anniversary purchase for my wife. A ten in the world of jewelers! *****
Highly recommended!

The store has beautiful jewelry. I walked because I needed my diamond ring cleaned. I didn t buy it there, but Michelle cleaned it any. She and all of the sales people are very friendly. As we were talking, I noticed a necklace and she showed it to me - no pressure. Wasn t sure of the chain length, so she pulled out the designer s catalog to show me other chain options. I didn t purchase it, but came back to the store today and bought it. Next time on Sanibel, I ll be sure to stop.
Had reason to call today to ask to adjust a watch link. The staff could not have been more helpful, quickly rectified the bracelet size and after a very friendly conversation we were on our way. Service of the highest order and encourages us to return and shop when next in Sanibel. Management should be very proud of their team as I'm sure they are.
Great place and very high quality jewelry. Alex was so great helping us. I didn t feel like we were pressured at all. Very knowledgeable and we love the little history he gave us about the store and surrounding area. We will definitely be back to buy more.
I have been coming to Congress jewelers every year since I made Captiva my vacation spot 8 years ago.
Every year I get a beautiful piece to add to my charm necklace to commemorate my stay here. I rarely ever take it off. Last year I bought a lovely ring. I think I have removed it maybe twice.
The Sea Life collection are hand crafted pieces cast from real shells and will last a lifetime. I get compliments all the time on my little collection.
The service you receive will be impeccable. Some pieces I have, I have requested they not be shiny and they are happy to send it to the shop and put a matte finish on them for me at no extra charge. ( Of course I apologize for changing the design of the artist to fit my needs of style)They also clean my necklace and ring every year.
My visit to Congress Jewelers is always one of the highlights of my vacation. I ve already scoped out my piece for next year. It s gorgeous!
. this place!
This store is amazing!! Such an incredible selection of beautiful inventory, much of which is unique to Congress Jewelers. Their range of Birth Shells, designed and manufactured by them right here on Sanibel Island, make the perfect gift, simply stunning! The staff are all soooo friendly and knowledgeable and the after sale service is second to none. Thank you Congress Jewlers, I ll be back again soon!!
Friendly and helpful employees. Knowledgeable and not pushy at all. Beautiful, customized jewelry for all price points.
This place is family owned and I cant say enough about how special the made my wife and daughter feel!!! I really wish their were more people like this in the world who actually care!! Thank you guys for all your kindness! We will be back for sure!!!!!!
We had a great experience, Michelle was very helpful, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. My wife Pat purchased a beautiful bracelet, she loves it.
Thanks again Michelle, we ll be back!
The owners and staff at congress jewelers were great. I knew the price of the wave necklace I bought.
I get so many great comments about the wave necklace I purchased from them.
Today I returned a very tangled double chain necklace to Congress Jewelers that I had purchased 15 years ago. Karen spent two hours on getting the necklace back to brand new condition. It was sparkly clean and looked beautiful. Happy to have my necklace back after sitting tangled on my dresser for 5 years. Excellent, superb customer service. Thank you, Karen!!!
Congress has always treated me in a way to fulfill all my needs. I have delt with them for 10 years and they have always treated me as a gentleman.
I would recommend them to everyone! All the pieces that I have purchased are unique and will never be seen anywhere else!
Wonderful saleswoman who was extremely helpful. I found just what I was looking for.
Once again thank you Eli for another memorable experience in Congress Jewelers on Sanibel Island. His expertise is obvious but the warmth and graciousness are qualities difficult to teach but beautiful to feel! Thank you Mr. Eli- you are special!!! The Ballew s will see you again! !!!
Congress Jewelers is the best and in my eyes the only jewelry store on Sanabel island that is worth going to
The owner and staff are very kind and personable they make it easy to shop never pushy
A lovely store located in Periwinkle Place. Fantastic service and beautiful items.
Delightful, knowledgeable , and helpful owners and staff! Absolutely beautiful and unique selection!
Congress Jewelers has beautiful jewelry including their distinctive island designs. I love my birth shell pendant! The staff is very friendly and helpful!
Beautiful pieces if jewelry made in store by the friendliest people. Will be back for sure!
Unique gifts and fantastic service are the benchmarks of Congress Jewelers
I really enjoyed my buying experience with Congress Jewelers. Friendly service with a smile! Thank you.
Very responsive and knowledgeable. Great experience
Personalized service by a family owned company that still understands the value of great customer service. They have become our jeweler of choice even though we are 1500 miles away!
Thank you!
Super prompt and professional service for many years. Highly recommend this business.
Were very attentive and freindly. Knowlegable of there products.
Congress Jewelers is an outstanding family owned jewelry store! Their custom designed Sea Life jewelry is unique and beautiful! Outstanding customer service. We recommend them highly, they have been our family s jewelers for 30 years! You will not be disappointed!
The necklace was exactly what I was looking for. The price was reasonable and the service was excellent.
Elias was so pleasant and was able to find the perfect small gold hoop for my husband!!!
Beautiful jewelry & excellent service. Big fan of the Sea Jewels!
Love my new starfish earrings. The folks there are very nice and the store is wonderful. Every girls dream!
Love love love this store ... my only regret is we don t live closer . Instantly we felt welcomed...
I had stopped in to see their birth shell collection ... what a unique idea !
Melissa was very gracious & friendly and helped me chose the perfect chain to go with my birth shell ...
We ll definitely be back on our next visit !!! Thank you for adding to my special day !
I can t speak highly enough of how fantastic it was working with Melissa and the staff of Congress Jewelers. We had gone to a few other jewelers in Naples with our grandma s wedding ring hoping to make a custom wedding band with her stones. The other jewelers felt insensitive to the significance of the gift of our grandma s ring, and their quotes felt unreasonably high.
Congress Jewelers not only was kind, respectful, and caring when handling our grandma s ring, but they realized our vision for the wedding band we wanted. It is ABSOLUTELY perfect. It doesn t matter how far you need to drive, it will be worth the trip to Sanibel Island to receive the care and quality that these jewelers know you deserve.
We had an emotional ring reveal with our grandma who was overjoyed and, so shocked by how beautiful the ring looks.
Thank you, Melissa and Congress Jewelers for making us feel so special and taking such good care of us and our grandma.
Excellent, friendly and knowledgeable service. Beautiful one of a kind estate jewelry! Incredible variety. Something for everyone!
Melissa was a joy to work with! She put white gold posts an sterling earrings due to my allergies. I loved a piece in yellow gold but I wear white gold. She made a white gold version for me and I even got to pick the color for the enameled part! All that at a great price!
They were all very nice and helped me find exactly what I had been looking for. When traveling I like getting jewelry that's unique to the area, and the little shell pendent I bought was exactly that.
Excellent products and service. I was through a error on my part charged three times for the same purchase. Congress took care of it right away so that was good

We visit Sanibel every year and always try to pick up a piece of jewelry from the 1622 Atocha ship wreck that Mel Fisher discovered! We always try to make our purchases from a beautiful lady named Linda. All the employees are wonderful but we consider Linda to be 'family'. -The Campbell family, Joplin Missouri.
Don't get any better than this. Thank you for being so nice to me & Louis Samoson
I couldn t be happier with my experience at Congress Jewelers and wouldn t hesitate to recommend them to family and friends. Scot and Melissa were knowledgeable and patient and were able to create two beautiful rings that suit me perfectly. The whole process was a pleasure from beginning to end! Thank you!
My mother introduced us to congress jewelers many years ago. Dee and Larry (Scott s parents) helped us. A wonderful family business where 2nd generation is as special as first. I don t use any other jeweler.
Carlos and crew were delightful, helpful and accommodating, as always!
Beautiful jewelry store. Classic pieces and fun Sanibel/ Captiva inspired pieces. Friendly and knowledgeable staff! We are leaving with two gorgeous reminders of our trip!
This is my go to jeweler, even though I live in a different state! From the handcrafted pieces they make on the island, to a wide assortment of beautiful jewelry, to exquisite customer service, this is a must visit each time I am in the area. Alex has consistently gone the extra mile to help with whatever I need, whenever I need it. A rare find these days. Love this place.
Our guests rave about the wonderful customer service and one of a kind 'Sanibel' jewelry pieces that can only be found at Congress. Thank you for providing our guests with well priced sea and beach items!
My husband and I were given plenty of attention, which was courteous and patient. Thank you!!
I went in there looking for something to represent the Island. I loved the handcrafted jewlery selection they make. Prices range to suit everyone. Elias was very helpful and gave us a lot of info about the pieces. There was definitely a wide selection that made the choice harder! Will definitely go back on another trip.
Love the staff and the products. The Sea life is always my favorite. GREAT place to visit and make a traditional stop!
Only high quality items offered with the best customer service!!!
We made a point to stop after a coupon was provided from a cruise. Welcoming staff, informative, helpful without being condescending. The unique pieces, the displays were set up in such a way that draws you in. Made multiple purchases and love sharing the knoweledge I learned about their pieces!! Highly crafted, reliable and stunning!! I look forward to returning!
Excellent quality, selection AND customer service. We will definitely return.
Highly recommend. Purchased a new wedding band. Low pressure, knowledgeable staff, and gave us a great deal. Cleaned our wedding bands on site for us as well.
I have been coming to Congress Jewelers since the 90's and have always been treated well. Scot has made the store attractive and the displays gorgeous. Karen, The Steel City girl, is always there with her friendly smile to help find the perfect thing for any occasion. Her excellent knowledge of the gems as well as the rest of the staffs attention makes returning there an easy decision. The location , the special events and jewelry make visiting there pleasurable as well. So, plan to visit soon!
I have known the Congress Family and several of their long time employees for many years on Sanibel Island. They have excellent employees who take a personal interest in service to their clients. I have always been satisfied with their efforts at customer service and would recommend them to anyone who becomes a customer of the store. A second generation of the family is now operating the store and continuing the high standards established when the store first opened.
Great group of people! Purchased a ring; they went the extra mile to have it sized that afternoon!
Highly recommended! One of the greatest selections of jewelry in SW FL
From the first greeting through the perusal of beautiful jewelry, my experience was enjoyable and totally dedicated to customer service and satisfaction!
I have been a customer for many years and will continue to be!
Linda is always so pleasant and professional! I always have outstanding service every time I step foot in the store from everyone! Thank you for providing caring, compassionate, and memorable service!
Love this place. I have been going their for over 20 years. Every time I go to Sanibel I visit Congress Jewelers and find a new treasure. They are always great to work with on my purchase.
Wonderful store. So many designers. Great staff. Ex Ellen jewelry repair.
Have a brilliant collection of gemstones of incredible quality. Ask for michelle. She s fantastic people. Was very impressed by her knowledge of diamonds.
What s truly impressive of this jeweler is their trademarked collection of shell stones. Unique idea and they are pulling it off very well.
Now.. being a Steelers fan and walking into a jewelry store on a Sunday afternoon was stressful. 4th quarter up on ravens by a touchdown. Congress Jewelers had the game on!
Always a pleasure to deal with Congress. Impeccable quality with exceptional service.
I could not be happier with my recent purchase. Every person was pleasant, professional and eager to help me find the perfect watch for me. The watch caught my eye, but the customer service is what will take me back again. Thank you!
Very good Salesmen, I got a Pearl Ring and it s Awesome!
Very friendly, anxious to please, lovely shellj jewelry.
Very enjoyable experience. Staff was very helpful and offered options for us. The owner came over to talk with us. We actually revisited the store for an additional purchase before we returned home.
We have purchased many unique treasures from Congress over the years with excellent quality and service. On our most recent visit, my daughter and I were fortunate that Elias was our jewelery Concierge for the day, and he helped us patiently choose two beautiful rings which are being sized. Cannot wait to pick them up! Beautiful selection of gold and silver jewelry along with an impressive Estate collection - my next piece awaits!
Decades long customers from the Atlanta area, first time ordering online. Very fast response and shipment to my near Christmas order. Thank you for the continued superb service and unique offerings!
I've been using Congress Jewelers for over 22 years. I do not use any other jeweler. This is because of multiple reasons.
1. Their jewelry is always unique. This is very important for my wife who doesn't want to wear the typical name brand type of offerings.
2. Their products are always very exclusive, classy, and beautiful.
3. Their entire staff. They are all very professional, know their products well, and are not pushy. I love Scot. He is a good man with a good heart.
4. They will work with you to create a custom work of art; or make some modifications to an existing piece to match your desires.
God Bless Congress Jewelers.
Another stellar experience at Congress jewelers. Michelle and Melissa were amazing as usual, and we ended up making an additional trip to purchase a few more pieces. This wonderful showplace is a must stop for us every year...even if we don t purchase, it s a treat to just peruse the one of a kind art pieces.
Thank you for another wonderful experience. Michelle, we ll see you next year!!!
