Jewelry Stores near Old Lyme, CT

“It was unfortunate that they sent a different item (I was looking for an older version of the doll) than the one I was looking to purchase, but the team was responsive, friendly, and apologetic. They offered me a discount or a return label without issue. I’m pleased with the customer support service and will continue to support local businesses.”

“A Truly Personalized and Exquisite Experience!
My husband brought me to Deep River Jewelry Design to purchase a 35th wedding anniversary gift for me. As soon as we connected with Nolan Sponsler I knew we were in for something special! He created a truly unique diamond tennis bracelet which holds deep personal meaning for me and also exceeded every expectation I had!
The level of personalized customer service was unparalleled! Nolan and his team took the time to genuinely listen to our ideas and offer insightful suggestions that really elevated the design. They were patient, communicative, and made us feel that our project was a top priority, providing updates and at times seeking input along the way. It felt more like a collaboration than just a retail transaction. Nolan, Stephanie and Bianca made us feel like welcomed friends and not just customers which is very important to me personally. Time and patience are hard to come by in today's world.
The final piece was absolutely breathtaking! When I was presented with the finished bracelet, I was blown away! Nolan's craftsmanship was flawless! His attention to detail, the precision and stone choice demonstrated his dedication to excellence. We loved his work so much, he is now working on another project for us!
If you are looking for mass produced jewelry this is not the place! But if you want a unique, custom designed piece of exceptional quality, crafted by someone who is passionate about his work and delivers a truly personalized experience, Deep River Jewelry Design is your place!
We would wholeheartedly recommend this great place without hesitation and will definitely be returning customers for all our jewelry needs!
Thank you for enhancing my sparkle Deep River Jewelry Design! Get out there and support small local business!!
Gratefully,
Lynn and Bob Butkus”

“By far the happiest place on the shore. Lopsang the proprietor is overflowing with compassion and happiness. Her smile worth the journey. Fantastic selection.”

“Used to deal with the West Hartford location for years. Now living on the coast we now have the pleasure to deal with the Old Saybrook store. David goes out of his way to accommodate us in purchases and repairs. Excellent jewelers. Highly recommend.”

“Love this shop! You will find a wide range of new and old, and many homemade goods here. We stop whenever we are in the area! Deb, the owner, is very friendly and curates an excellent selection.Be sure you go to the back left hand side of the store to sniff out the delicious candles! I live in a log cabin in the state forest and found all of these items to make a cozy dining set up!”

“Great store, definitely will be going back and highly recommend! I’ve lived 20 mins away from here for 4 years and just went in for the first time today and the only thing I regret is not going in sooner!”

“Nice place, decent selection between antiques and other curio and pricing is nice. Staff is very friendly. Don't forget to check out the building in the back too!”

“Clothes with class and style at an affordable price. Same for jewelry and accessories. My wife, daughters and I have all had great success finding whatever we need gifting or otherwise. Also, Grace employees ARE personable and attentive. On a side note, someone had the nerve to trash Grace while admitting that they use the store to "get ideas" before making purchases of clothing online. Essentially, using them as their own personal showroom but not paying for the merchandise. WOW! Unbelievable. Brings the Karen monicker to a whole new level! Shop at Grace then buy at Grace. Most thoughtful people do.”

“Fantastic and somewhat eclectic variety of items but the real treasure here is the woman who was working there Sunday morning (7/30). In addition to being such a charming and pleasant person she was also just amazing in how helpful she was to people coming in the store. One poor woman was out of dog poop bags and the woman didn't hesitate to find her a couple small bags and give the dog a couple treats! We never got a chance to finish our shopping here but we'll be back in a few weeks. I see several xmas gifts with Emmy's name on them!”

“I had to get a watch battery for my mom . There are some magnificent pieces of jewelry on display. If you're in the market for a unique item that is quite lovely I recommend this place”

“AMAZING store, HUGE & selection jewelry, some of which is hard to find. Tarot/ oracle cards and related supplies, incense gifts ect. Also a great selection of books for the novice or expert on a wide range of topics. I even bought a 2ft brass diety there. I always find something. The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and intuitive, down to earth. Always happy to take anything out of the cases for you to look at. I hear the mediums are great I'm going to make an appointment for sure. Rock on!”

“I have been in this store several times over the past few years.On a recent visit I found very few items of interest.If you have better jewelry,this may not be for you.Excellent for a gift,”

“Our Own Dina Varano Collection

Among the many things influencing our 2014 move to Chester, CT, was its thriving cultural scene. Home to abstract expressionist Sol Lewitt, Broadway impresario Michael Price, landscape artists Richard Ziemann, Deborah Quinn Munson and Leif Nilsson and renowned graphic designer Peter Good, countless musicians, writers, artists and photographers, Chester has earned its reputation as a New England cultural jewel.

But since moving to town, Gail and I have been particularly taken by another founding member of Chester’s art scene, sculptor, jewelry-maker and business owner — Dina Varano. As you’ll see from the variety of pieces in our photos, we can’t get enough of Dina and her magical main street shop.

Dina’s original designs are rooted in nature, her style is joyful and free, and her pieces as different from each other as they are from those of any other artist. Her creative sense is reflected as well in the work of the other makers found in her eclectic shop. Every time we’ve gifted or displayed something from Dina, the reaction has been pure wonder and delight.

For Gail and me, Dina Varano epitomizes the energy and cooperative spirit driving the arts culture here in our adopted hometown. Check it out.”
