Meet The Family
Overstreet’s Jewelry is a family-owned business that began when Ralph and Belle Overstreet came to Arkansas in November 1948 to attend the wedding of her younger sister. Ralph found a watch repair shop on the Bentonville square that was for sale and bought it on the spot. They then moved “back home” and stayed to build their business. They have both passed on, but their vision lives on.
