Dalton

A Hickory native, Dalton joined Oz's Jewelers on his birthday in November of 2019 as a seasonal sales associate. His talent and dedication quickly led him to his role as the store's creative director, and he has since been promoted to our store's business manager.

As our Business Manager, Dalton plays a role in overseeing the store's daily operations, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Not to be confused with Melissa's role as our store manager, he is responsible for the behind the scenes operations and implementing strategic plans to enhance store performance. Dalton also oversees developing and executing marketing initiatives, and optimizing the overall shopping experience. 

Dalton is a proud graduate of UNC Chapel Hill, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Advertising & Public Relations, and Wake Forest University, where he completed his master’s degree in Business Management at the age of 21.

His expertise extends beyond traditional jewelry sales; he is also recognized as a Cultured Pearl Specialist by the Cultured Pearl Association of America and is a recipient of the prestigious Robert Foreman Memorial Award from the 24kt Club — a very prestigious award in the Jewelry Industry.

You can often find Dalton at the diamond counters, where he enjoys helping clients find the perfect engagement ring and has a keen eye for custom-designed pieces. When not at the store, you can likely find him at the office of DP Creative, the creative agency he founded to help jewelers evolve to the ever-changing digital landscape. In his free time, Dalton enjoys watching UNC sports, collecting watches, and spending time with his friends and family.
