Market Square Jewelers

OUR STORY

A library of jewelry, a passion for gemstones.

From the very beginning, Market Square Jewelers has chosen to blaze our own trail in the jewelry world.  While other jewelry stores can feel one-size-fits-all, we have maintained our unique perspective through our reverence for vintage jewelry and fine gemstones.  With the goal of marrying these two passions, Market Square Jewelers was born.  We opened our first store in Newburyport, Massachusetts in 1984.  

Since then, we’ve opened stores in Portsmouth, New Hampshire (1989), Dover, New Hampshire (2008), Portland, Maine (2014), Cambridge, Massachusetts (2018) on Newbury Street in Boston, Massachusetts (2025) and we are working on opening up a location on Charles Street in Boston, Massachusetts.  Each store is filled to the brim with one-of-a-kind pieces, from Victorian gold bangles, to Ceylon sapphire engagement rings.  We travel around the world to hand select the gems that go into our pieces.  You'll feel that spirit of "treasure hunting" when you shop our selection, each piece thoughtfully curated.  

Our Service

Approachable, meticulous, conscientious.

In ethos and in practice, we are a family business.  When you make a purchase with us, the relationship doesn’t end when you get your receipt.  We get to know you, your likes and dislikes, your budget, and how you like to shop, so that when you are faced with an exciting new life chapter, you know who you can rely on to find you the perfect piece.  From birthdays to engagements, we are there for you.

Many customers have told us that they didn’t enjoy buying jewelry in stores until they stepped into a Market Square Jewelers.  While other stores are often stuffy or pretentious, the atmosphere at MSJ is relaxed and friendly.  We want our visitors to try pieces on, to take photos and get opinions from their friends. Whether you are selling your unwanted jewelry, or hunting for the perfect pair of earrings, you will leave our stores delighted.
