J.H. Breakell & Co. is another hidden gem in Newport; located off the beaten path and one block away from Thames Street. As with many of the little-known but lovely things about this sweet town, tourists will often (sadly) overlook Spring Street which is home to many small, locally-owned novelty businesses and beautiful colonial architecture. My favorite thing about this little shop is its history; being of humble beginnings, and where many years of hard work and creativity has paid off. The Breakell's started their business in the basement of their home only to outgrow various spaces throughout the years. At their current location, there is a very cool workshop located near the retail store where you can watch the artists venerate in their extraordinary and ancient craft. All of the items are created on-site, and designs tend to give nod to nostalgic Rhode Island traditions. Where else are you going to find handcrafted, high quality jewelery molded into shapes like the Rhode Island Red rooster, horseshoe crabs and jellyfish? They also sell special collections for weddings, graduations, birthdays and so on. Each year they create a signature snowflake pattern, and the locals rush to the store once it's released to see it while checking off their holiday lists. The design is fashioned into earrings, necklaces and pins, and my friends never seem to grow tired of receiving complements from the assembly each year. The silver necklaces are quite beautiful and for $45.00, it's a pretty special gift. The Breakells once created an exquisite sterling silver broccoli pin after the Bushs publicly announced their disdain for the vegetable, and ordered it to be removed from the White House menu. The pin was sent to First Lady, Barbara Bush and of course, later to the Clintons and Gores who smirkingly announced that they were, in fact, proud fans of the undistinguished veggie. For $95.00, it's worth every penny, and the ideal present for the dietitian, chef, foodie or ha! politician in your life. read more

J.H. Breakell & - Jewelry Near Me - Newport, Rhode Island

I have loved this jewelry for quite some time. It is unique and the price point is reasonable. The service is great--the manager offered to clean my jewelry for free and it looks fab. I often buy gifts here because the jewelry cannot be found elsewhere. read more

I've been a happy customer for many years. JH Breakell is my jewelry store of choice for gifts for monumental events (births, graduations, weddings, etc). The craftmanship is unmatched and the pieces are unique. I recently wanted to purchase a piece that wasn't in their catalog anymore so I called and spoke to the owner. He assured me that not only could they make that pendant but that he could get it to me in the timeframe within which I needed it. The customer service is excellent and the jewelry is amazing! I highly recommend. read more

Customer service and quality do not get better than this! Every year at Christmas, we purchase a snowflake ornament for each family member. This year, our credit card was charged, but the purchase not received. I called the store, explained the situation and received an apology. The order was resent by priority mail along with a hand written letter of apology and a gift of an ornament box for us. Kathy O. read more

We have visited twice now and will be returning. It is a small shop but darling and the service are sweet, not pushy. We have now bought three pieces there. What is truly special is each piece is handmade and unique- they are gorgeous. Also, the prices are not over the top so you can buy a gorgeous item and not feel overwhelmed. The "Newport ring" is a personal favorite -and now I also have the Newport bracelet. I can't recommend this place enough- GO! read more
