History

Cortes of Palm Beach was founded in the early 80’s by Don Guillermo Cortes to provide services to prestigious jewelry stores on Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. It is a family business that has transcended generations, with sons and cousins cooperating in different aspects of the jewelry industry.

Guillermo Cortes left his native county of Colombia in 1972 in search of new opportunities, re-launching his career as a jeweler in New York. Soon the family arrived in Palm Beach where Cortes quickly becomes a recognized designer and jeweler working for well known companies such as Jewel Masters and Kimberly Ltd. Eventually Cortes opens his own repair and design shop on Peruvian Avenue (one block north of Worth Avenue) with the cooperation of his sons Guillermo Jr. (Memo), Guillermo Antonio Cortes and his nephew Gerardo Santacruz. The business has grown over the years and although Cortes is semi-retired the legacy continues as he still participates in the design process.

Cortes of Palm Beach, Inc. is a hidden treasure of the Island, comprised of a small store front and full repair shop under the management of his son Antonio Cortes, who followed his father’s footsteps and became a staple of the jewelry industry in Palm Beach.

Cortes of Palm Beach, Inc offers a wide variety of services such as jewelry repairs, special orders, and designs in platinum, 18K gold and silver. It is also your destination for beautifully hand crafted unique jewelry pieces, certified diamonds, emeralds and other precious and/or semi-precious stones.

For over 30 years, Cortes of Palm Beach, Inc. has been serving an exclusive clientele in search of quality, trust and excellent customer service. We invite you to stop by and meet us next time you are in town.
