His secondary education took place at the Christian Brothers College in Rose Bay, New South Wales followed by a stint at the London School of Economics.
In 2008, when another Egyptian-born Jewish businessman was accepted for membership, Bensimon claimed some credit for the move, saying "I broke the back of a small but influential element within the Adelaide Club.
Using his knowledge of marketing and sales from his experience selling pharmaceuticals and computer software, Albert decided to expand Shiels' product range to include more precious jewellery such as gold, silver and diamonds.
Founded in 1945 by South Australian jeweller Jack Shiels, the business initially had a single store which operated out of Adelaide's Central Market Arcade selling jewellery, giftware and silver-plated merchandise.
He then led Shiels into being the first company to introduce “genuine discounting” in the Australian jewellery industry with his notorious advertising slogan, “No Hoo-Haa”.
They stock an array of well-known jewellery and watch brands including Seiko, Casio, G-Shock, Baby-G, Michael Kors, Guess, Tommy Hilfiger, Disney Couture Kingdom, Skagen, Sekonda, Bulova, Pulsar, Olivia Burton, Daniel Wellington, Fossil, Citizen, Lorus, JAG, Flawless Cut, Memorie, Australian Diamond and Luminsce Lab Grown Diamonds.
Following the work from his parents, Toby is committed to offering expertly crafted jewellery for the best price and an enriching customer service experience.
Under the care and guidance of the Bensimon family, Shiels Jewellers has earned a reputation for consistently making beautiful, unique and long-lasting jewellery pieces.
