When the goal is to elicit squeals of delight on Christmas morning (and why wouldn’t that be the goal?), make sure the gift is inside a beautifully gift-wrapped box from Forsythe Jewelers. After all, according to owners Andrea and Ray Bragg, Santa himself has always shopped at Forsythe – simply because it’s just so easy to get it right.
Since 1981, Forsythe Jewelers has been bringing the world’s best designer jewelry and gifts to Hilton Head Island. Carrying the most popular designer brands, this family-owned business provides an unhurried, personalized, small-town shopping experience to every customer who enters the store.
“We call it ‘the Forsythe Way,’” said Andrea Bragg, who trains her staff to provide five-star customer service for every client by helping them find the perfect item or gift they will cherish for years to come. The Forsythe Way involves treating clients like Forsythe family by offering genuine friendly greetings any time they enter the store, providing them with a great selection of beautiful jewelry at every price point, helping them find the perfect item for every occasion, and ensuring that every purchase is beautifully wrapped in the iconic and recognizable Forsythe packaging that everyone wants to see under the tree.
With a dazzling selection of the world’s best designers, it’s easy to find something to love. Consider Lagos – an inspiring brand with a vision of bold femininity, or David Yurman, who pushes the boundaries of jewelry and luxury. There is also Marco Bicego, who offers Old World Italian tradition with contemporary design; Sethi Couture, whose jewelry is designed to elevate the everyday; the simply timeless JB Star diamond jewelry; the unique passion of Gabriel & Co.; Jude Frances, who combines classic elegance with on-trend shapes and styles; and Roberto Coin, whose pieces bring romance and imagination to life.
“We are truly Santa’s elves this time of year, and we make it as easy as possible for you to find exactly what you want under the Christmas tree,” Bragg said. “We keep wish lists on file for our regular clients, so Santa never has to wonder what to get. We offer complimentary local delivery to your home or office. We can even work with a client over the phone via FaceTime or by texting or emailing pictures to ensure that you and your beloved are happy.”
For the man on your list, Forsythe Jewelers has expanded to include a men’s line by designer David Yurman. Whether your guy likes cabled cuffs or beaded bracelets, a streamlined band ring or a cabled one, a simple chain necklace or one adorned with a cross or jewel-encrusted dog tag, you’ll find the perfect Christmas gift to ornament his masculinity.

Forsythe has Christmas covered for the kids and grandkids, too.
“We have really cute JellyCat books and stuffed animals for the holidays for the younger people on your list, along with some MacKenzie-Childs toddler dinnerware sets,” Bragg said.
Speaking of MacKenzie-Childs, everyone’s home sparkles a little brighter during the holidays with MacKenzie-Childs ornaments or Christmas decor. The designers and artisans at MacKenzie-Childs create beautiful and original tableware, serving pieces, furniture, home and garden accessories, and more that add joy and grace to any home. The collections available at Forsythe are inspiring, vast, and varied in style and function.
“People love to collect MacKenzie-Childs,” Bragg said. “A MacKenzie-Childs gift would be an ideal Christmas gift for anyone interested in starting a collection that generations will love for years to come.”
Still unsure? Rely on the expertise of the Forsythe team to guide you in your shopping experience.
“Each member of our team has a servant’s heart,” Bragg said. “They truly love what they do and enjoy working with familiar clients, meeting new people, and helping each person find exactly what they are looking for. This time of year is especially fun because people delight in shopping in the store. It’s beautifully decorated for the season, and our staff are full of suggestions to guide you to the perfect gift.”
Another reason Santa loves Forsythe Jewelers is the shopping is risk-free. If the gift recipient doesn’t love it, the staff will help you find something they will love.
Holiday hours (through December 23) are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Christmas Eve, they’re open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. They are closed Christmas Day and will reopen December 26.
Over the past four decades, Forsythe Jewelers has established itself as an island landmark and its name is synonymous with shopping on Hilton Head.
