Conch Jewelers

Conch Jewelers occupies Suite B at 120 Duval Street, at the Mallory Square end of the road, and has built its identity around one of the more distinctive niches in Key West’s jewelry trade: coins recovered from historic Spanish shipwrecks. The shop specializes in Atocha treasure coins along with pieces from the Santa Margarita, El Cazador, and other documented wrecks, alongside ancient coins from a range of historical civilizations, giving it an inventory that doubles as a small window into maritime and numismatic history.

Beyond shipwreck material, the shop also carries designer jewelry lines including Kabana, giving shoppers a broader range of options than a purely treasure coin focused store. According to the shop’s own account, it has operated in Key West for close to a quarter century, a run of longevity that has let it build relationships with collectors who return to the island specifically to check in on new coin inventory as it becomes available, since supply of any specific historic shipwreck coin is inherently limited and does not simply restock the way manufactured jewelry does.

The shop’s location near Mallory Square puts it in a heavily trafficked part of town, close to the nightly Sunset Celebration and within a short walk of the Key West Aquarium and the Key West Sponge Market. That means Conch Jewelers sees a steady flow of visitors who are already in the area for other attractions, in addition to shoppers who seek it out specifically for its treasure coin specialty.

Conch Jewelers maintains its own website and an active Facebook page, giving prospective customers a way to browse available coin jewelry before making the trip in person, which matters given how collector focused much of the inventory is. The shop also offers a small welcome gift to visitors who stop in, a detail mentioned on its own site as an invitation for browsers who may not have planned on a jewelry purchase to come in and take a look regardless.

For anyone building a Key West itinerary around the island’s maritime treasure history, which also includes the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum a few blocks away, Conch Jewelers offers a way to bring home a tangible piece of that history rather than just a photograph or a museum ticket stub. Combined with its published phone number and working website, it is one of the more straightforward jewelry shops in this directory to research and plan a visit around ahead of time.
