Welcome! It’s a pleasure to meet you.
Our business was founded over 50 years ago by the creative and wonderful minds of Steve and Judy Brown. It still stands in its original location, 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.
Upstairs 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.
Diamond Experts
Our team has decades of jewelry experience. We are constantly learning and immersing ourselves into the industry with continued education programs and by attending events. We want to be certain we have the most current and accurate tools and information for you.
Something Borrowed Program
We all know the saying, “Something old, something new….”, but we’re not talking about asking your cousin for her purse for your wedding day. When you buy an Engagement Ring with us, you may borrow jewelry to wear on the best day of your life. It’s true! Complete your perfect look with extra special accessories.
Trade Up Your Diamonds
Thinking about a bigger diamond? We are happy to “trade” in your Brown Goldsmiths diamond purchase for a larger one. Maybe for a big Anniversary down the road or another special occasion, keep this offer in mind.
Stud Giveaway
Anyone who buys an Engagement Ring from us is entered to win Diamond Studs on Valentine’s Day. As you are planning your wedding day, or maybe even looking back at photos of the event, you might get a phone call from us with quite a treat!
Jewelry Care Plan
Taking care of your jewelry goes a long way in maintaining its value with your changing lifestyle. We offer a jewelry care plan for every Engagement Ring in our store. This small initial investment added to your ring purchase is worth a lifetime of care.
Financing
Buying an Engagement Ring should be one of the best days of your life! We want to make sure you don’t feel any stress and offer several options to help you realistically pay for the ring you want.
Appraisals
Appraisals put a replacement cost on your jewelry for insurance purposes. It is peace of mind for those “what if” scenarios, and we are happy to guide you through the process on site.
Onsite Repairs
We specialize in all kinds of jewelry repairs right in our upstairs workshop. Please call ahead for an appointment and we’d be happy to examine what needs fixing and provide you with a cost. Please expect a two week turnaround for your job.
Blog
We’d like to think our Blog offers a glimpse into the sometimes intimidating world of jewelry. From the tough stuff like understanding platinum, to the helpful stuff like jewelry care, to the insider scoop like trading “up” your diamonds, we hope you find a tidbit that is helpful to you.
Custom Design
Dream. Design. Craft. There is truly nothing we love more than making your jewelry dreams come true. Whether you start by doodling on a piece of scrap paper, or bring in a family heirloom that you wish to see in a different design, we will work with you to make it happen.
Shipping
Knowing that your jewelry purchase is not only valuable, but sometimes very time sensitive, we offer several option for shipping. With FREE shipping, you will receive your purchase within 10-14 days. For $15, we will ship for a 3 day delivery. And, if you are local or passing through, you can always stop in to pick up and say “Hi!”
Appointments
We offer appointments in store and virtually. We recommend an appointment especially if you have a particular idea or gift in mind. This allows us to give you the attention you deserve, as well as prepare some ideas just for you.
Insurance
Insuring your jewelry gives you peace of mind. It can be covered in your homeowners insurance but likely not at full value. Jewelers Mutual Group is our choice. They will work with us, your jeweler, to make sure your treasures will be replaced.
Kimberley Process Compliant
The Kimberley Process is “a commitment to remove conflict diamonds from the global supply chain.” We are proud to be compliant in this effort to reduce the flow of conflict diamonds throughout the world.
We hope to see you soon!
Fine jewelry is a lifelong investment. It speaks to you, your family, and your traditions and values. We look forward to getting to know you to start a friendship, above all else.
