About Persnickety Jewelry & Gifts

Welcome to Persnickety Jewelry & Gifts, a proud family-owned and operated business founded by the Wilson family in 2004 and serving Southwest Florida with unique gifts, fine jewelry, chocolates, and beautiful floral arrangements.

What began in the charming small town of Arcadia, Florida, has grown in the past years with locations in Punta Gorda and a third Persnickety location will be opening in Babcock Ranch in Winter 2026, allowing us to serve even more families and communities throughout Southwest Florida.

At Persnickety, we believe that giving should be personal, meaningful, and memorable. Our carefully curated selection includes jewelry, unique gifts, gourmet chocolates, fresh floral arrangements, and more, making it easy to find something special for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, celebrations, or simply to let someone know you’re thinking of them.

More than just a jewelry and gift store, Persnickety is committed to providing the friendly, personalized service that you expect from a local family-owned business. Our knowledgeable team takes the time to help you find the perfect gift, create a beautiful floral arrangement, select a meaningful piece of jewelry, or choose something delicious and special for someone you love.

We are incredibly grateful to the customers who have supported the Wilson family and Persnickety throughout the years. Your continued support has allowed us to grow from our roots in Arcadia to Punta Gorda and, soon, Babcock Ranch.

When you’re looking for a jewelry store in Arcadia or Punta Gorda, unique gifts, chocolates, flowers, or a thoughtful gift for a special occasion, we’re here to make your shopping experience easy, enjoyable, and memorable.

From our Wilson family to yours, thank you for making Persnickety Jewelry & Gifts a part of your special moments. We look forward to serving you at all three of our Southwest Florida locations!

"Persnickety people like things neat and tidy, but the etymology of persnickety doesn't provide the kind of clean, clear explanation that appeals to the fastidious. Persnickety was first documented in English in the late 19th century as an alteration of "pernickety", a word that has the same meaning. "Pernickety" goes back to the early 1800s, but from there, the word's history gets messy. Some say "pernickety" might be from a child's version of particular; others, that the nick part came from association with knick-knack. Or perhaps the Latin prefix per-, meaning "thoroughly," played a role. But it's all conjecture-no one knows for sure." - Marriam Webster
