Our Story
The Providence Jewelry Museum is the first museum dedicated to the history of the American jewelry, design and manufacturing industries. Our collections encompass the largest jewelry archive in the world and aim to provide enriching historical, educational, and touristic experiences. We focus on the American story through the preservation of our country’s jeweled past. Through the journey of an exhibition, guests can experience the processes of craft and the history of an industry. The Providence Jewelry Museum creates connections between the makers of yesterday, the museum visitor of today and the designers of tomorrow.
