Founded in 2013 by Colby Shelton Byrd in Wilmington, North Carolina, Shelton Metal is an artisanal jewelry and homeware brand deeply rooted in coastal nostalgia. Byrd, a metalsmith who honed his craft in Italy, translates the textures of the sea—weathered shells, tangled ropes, and shipwrecks—into sculptural, heirloom-quality objects. The brand initially built its reputation on custom fine jewelry, offering bespoke engagement rings and organic, raw-metal bands.
