Welcome! It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Our business was founded over 55 years ago by the creative and wonderful minds of Steve and Judy Brown. We have recently moved from our original location up to Main Street, still just a block from L.L. Bean. On the first floor, you will find a showroom full of jewelry we have designed and created ourselves, as well as collections from jewelers we deeply trust and admire.

Downstairs is our workshop of jewelers and goldsmiths. While you are browsing and shopping, you might be lucky enough to hear their tools at work. They are likely creating a custom design dreamed up by a customer, or fine tuning a new addition to our Brown Goldsmiths Signature Collection. We hope you pay us a visit and try on jewelry, ask questions, and request to tour our workshop. We want you to know all aspects of our business to ensure the best experience for you.

We invite you to start your journey here.

It only makes sense for you to do your research before diving into a fine jewelry purchase. Many of our services and benefits are listed below. Please do not hesitate to call us or stop in if you would like to know more about any of these offerings.

Private Shopping Experience

Imagine having our store all to yourself? For an Anniversary, Birthday, or just because, we will work closely with you to narrow down a specific collection of items from which to browse, try on, and purchase. In addition, we will make it especially personal – champagne, your favorite music, those wedding flowers, you name it.

  We worked with Kathy and got some gorgeous rings from her.  Top notch. She was very patient, offered to clean a current ring while we looked over options, and really just wanted to make sure everything was right for us. We also used the website to design rings ahead of our visit.  Gorgeous jewelry and stone selections with an intimate feel. Highly recommend.

  Brown Goldsmiths did excellent work on my fiancee's engagement ring. They worked with me to create a custom piece. Their design was amazing right out of the gate and Kathy was very helpful and patient with all the small changes I asked for to make the ring perfect. We'll definitely be coming back to design our wedding bands!

  Browns Goldsmith was an absolute pleasure to work with. The team was patient, kind, and truly took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. They made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free, never rushing or pressuring me at any point. Their attention to detail and willingness to help made a big difference, and I really appreciated how comfortable they made the process from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality service and a genuinely caring experience.

  I have been a customer at Brown Goldsmiths for over 35 years. The service and quality of the jewelry is what brings us back. The interlocking circles gold necklace, recently purchased, is a timeless piece that I know will become a staple.

  I have had the pleasure of working with Brown Goldsmiths twice now to create custom jewelry pieces. The entire team is wonderful and made the design process both easy and exciting. I appreciated the time they took to make sure I was walking away with exactly what I wanted. They helped come up with ideas and never rushed me through the process. I highly recommend Brown Goldsmiths and will continue to go back next time I need.

  My husband and I have been using Brown's since we moved to Maine four years ago. Typically, I'm on the receiving end, but I recently surprised my husband with a new wedding band to replace his first that had been lost. Annique helped me and was super friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The whole process was extremely easy and pleasant, and she even checked in on us afterwards. My husband was so surprised and loves his new band. It was also my first time in their new space, and it is absolutely gorgeous. Highly recommend!

  Trusting a jeweler with a sentimental piece isn’t easy, but Brown Goldsmiths exceeded every expectation. They treated my ring with incredible care and restored it beautifully. I felt confident throughout the process, and the final result was stunning. I’m so thankful to have found a place that truly values both craftsmanship and customers.

  Brown Goldsmiths was exceptional. The team was patient and respectful of my idea to redo my mom's diamond ring, an inherited piece of jewelry that means so much to me. Allie walked me through the process, explaining the time frame and all the possibilities. Brown Goldsmiths transformed this ring into a piece that truly reflects my style. Tears welled up when I saw the finished ring. I will think of my mom every time I look at this magnificent piece of jewelry. I fully trusted BG with this deeply meaningful family heirloom. They educated me about the diamond and made this custom project totally seamless. Thank you to the entire team for always being so welcoming. Brown Goldsmiths is my forever jeweler!

  Recently I had the pleasure of working with Brown's to have a 150 year old family ring remade. It is spectacular!  They made an exact replica and it looks better than the original. Some smaller, damaged diamonds were replaced and the platinum band is new. Adam kept me apprised of the work, and I am grateful for the quality of craftsmanship.

  Brown Goldsmiths is the only place I will go.  Beautiful jewelry made by craftsmen.  When my jewelry needs work I only trust Brown to do the work.  I have never been disappointed in the 20+ year I have been working with them.

  Bought my now fiancé her engagement ring and it came out beautiful. She loves it so much. The entire time working with Allie was a smooth process. I constantly was having different designs to try and figure out what to finalize and what to not but the entire time through it all she was unbelievably helpful. I couldn’t recommend enough using them for creating the perfect engagement ring or any other kind of jewelry.

  Stop in to check out the selection of William Henry knives and was impressed with the collection. Our group purchased two knives, and Kathy was very helpful and friendly. And didn't even make fun of our Southern accents. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in town.

  Found this shop after searching online where to fix a bracelet. Not only did they fix the bracelet with ease, they cleaned our rings. We decided to engage in a custom creation with them as well after speaking with their sales associate, Adam. I would highly recommend this jeweler for professionalism, customer service, and a beautiful selection of jewelry.

  They went above and beyond helping make a hard situation for me easier. They made me feel special, like I could stop by and get hugs all around even though I did all my interactions on line! And everything was very smooth, even a sizing suggestion I hadn’t thought of. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
