Ocean City’s Park Place Jewelers Showcases its Extensive Collection of Fine Jewelry and Must-Have Beach Pieces

By Grace Silipigni

For 26 years, Todd and Jill Ferrante have provided Ocean City patrons with the most exquisite and unique collection of jewelry at the beach. When you stop in one of the Ferrante’s two Park Place Jewelers locations, you’ll likely find Todd and Jill behind the display case assisting customers. Their teenage daughter, Sophia, is never far behind. Whether you’re on the hunt for a nautical-themed keepsake or high-fashion statement piece, the Ferrantes are eager to provide top-notch service and connect you with the jewelry of your dreams.

Ocean City Hook Collection

Arguably the most sought after jewelry at Park Place is the Ocean City Hook Collection. The collection was designed by the Ferrantes in 2002 and is exclusive to their two retail locations. The collection began with the Original Ocean City Destination Bracelet, but now boasts a full ensemble of bangles, rings, pendants and necklaces available in gold, silver and opal accents.

Swimming with Sea Life

Renowned designers Steven Douglas and Denny Wong fill Park Place’s showrooms with an exceptional collection of ocean-inspired pieces. Steven Douglas touts a stunning mermaid pendant crafted with 14kt yellow gold and pearl accent. Denny Wong’s nautical inspiration appears in the form of a rainbow sapphire clamshell necklace complete with a matching ring and earrings.

Coastal Charm

Crafted with the highest quality glass crystals, Swarovski makes a splash in the Ocean City jewelry scene with its expansive collection of nautical novelties. Vibrant blues show in Swarovski’s crashing ocean wave and starfish pendants while deeper hues appear in its palm tree, turtle and tropical bird charms. Classic diamond finishes are seen throughout the collection as well on necklaces, earrings, rings and more.

Pandora Goes Local

Pandora is a visionary in the custom jewelry industry, so when at Park Place, look no further than the jeweler’s collection of destination charms for a fashionable souvenir from your beach vacation. The Ocean City Charms collection features two of Pandora’s signature designs – dangle charms and button charms – in five different styles. Choose from jumping dolphins at sunset, turquoise flip flops, a sunrise scene, a blue marlin or a turtle charm outfitted with a rhinestone edge.

Larimar Blue

Larimar is a stone specific to the Dominican Republic and is as blue as the Caribbean waters themselves. The ocean blue hue pops against its sterling silver settings in Larimar’s line of necklaces, pendants, earrings and rings. The stone is incorporated into whimsical beach designs like jellyfish, marlin, flip flops, seashells and more.

Jewelry for Him

Park Place boasts one of the largest selections of gold and silver men’s pieces in the area. Men can shop chains, bracelets and rings, some adorned with marlins, anchors and fish hooks.

In with the Times

Whether you’re relaxing at the beach or treating the family to an upscale dinner, Park Place is the go-to destination for wrist attire.

Self-proclaimed as The Unbreakable Watch, G-Shock designs a host of men’s and women’s watches ranging from pure black and transparent designs to solar-powered and brightly colored selections perfect for fun in the sun. Tailoring to more traditional designs are the diamond-encrusted and stainless steel collections by Seiko, Citizen and Michele.

Dune Jewelry

What better way to enjoy genuine Ocean City sand than to wear it? The Dune Collection asserts local sand as its focal point in stunning pieces like the gradient wave necklace and beach bangle. Other designs like the crab and flip flop not only display sand, but the Larimar ocean blue stone too.

Genuine Gemstones

Beyond Park Place’s assortment of beach-centric pieces is the shop’s selection of unique gemstones. The selection of finished jewelry showcases an array of rare gemstones including black opal, Lotus Garnet, Watermelon Tourmaline and more.
