Our founders

Founded in 1945, Shiels is an innovative Australian jeweller with stores in - SA, QLD, WA and NSW (don’t sweat, everyone else can still access our amazing range online). Founded by Jack Shiels, Mr Shiels and his wife ran the family-owned company from Adelaide, South Australia, for over 32 years. In 1977 his company was sold to Albert Bensimon (yes – no hoo-haa) and his wife, Nyra. Originally, Mr Shiels sold jewellery and giftware, Albert and Nyra quickly expanded the selection to include more precious jewellery, including gold, silver and diamonds.
