With a beautiful backdrop and a history like Newport, it's no wonder that it has a such a diverse selection of beautiful unique jewelry. You'll find everything from simple decorative pieces to upscale costume pieces and beyond, many with ocean and coastal-inspired elements.
Where Newport really shines is the amazing selection of estate jewelry you'll find in the area, with many pieces picked up at auctions in the mansion district. Estate pieces may be over a hundred years old, originating from anywhere across the globe. Most pieces are unique, custom creations that really make a statement.
Newport's coastal enclave is home to many artisan jewelers who have been crafting the finest in gold and silver creations for years, showcasing the city and natural coastal themes through their imaginative designs. Jewelry boutiques often feature select designers and their recent collections in their stores, offering visitors a unique pallette of designs and styles from which to choose.
Just because Newport is home to mansions and fine hotels doesn't mean that we don't have access to some of the finest costume jewelry creations available. Rhode Island is often considered the jewelry capital of the United States, and the neighboring capital city of Providence has been home to some of the finest manufacturers for over a hundred years. Companies producing the finest crystals and home accents like Swarovski have called Rhode Island home since 1895. So even if your budget doesn't allow for gemstones and fine metals, you can still find a striking piece of jewelry here in Newport.
