“I recently decided to sell my late father's coin collection. I had gone to another coin shop first to get an offer. He offered me well below the value of the coins after very quickly looking at each one. The following day I went to see Joe to see what he could do. Joe took the time to look up the prices on everything. Explained details to me as he went along. In the end he offered me almost doubled what the other dealer had offered. Thanks Joe. I'll recommend you to anyone who asks.”

480 Thames St, Newport“Helped design a ring for my wife’s push present. Having a newborn at home, we had to handle everything by email. The team was terrific and the end result was just as I had imagined. Thank you!”
“First, I wish I could give Grenon's TEN STARS!. I live in NY and a few years ago visited Newport, RI. I came upon Grenon's of Newport, a fine jewelry and watch retailer. I was not in the market nor thinking of making any purchases. My wife Amy and I were recently engaged at the time. I always liked fine watches, just did not own any. Ray and his wife were lovely. Showed me several watches - I was just browsing. I tried on a Chronoswiss watch - it was beautiful. Next think I knew, Amy purchased it for me as an engagement gift (sorry guys, Amy is taken!).
Ray made the sale seamless. I enjoyed the watch for a couple of years until I began having some issues with it keeping correct time. Ray was always there to help me troubleshoot. Then the watch kept stopping at a certain time. Again, Ray helped me troubleshoot. When demagnitization wasn't helping, Ray asked me to ship it to him. The watch was just out of warranty by a few months. I shipped the watch to Ray. Ray did everything in his power to try to get the watch running using local resources to save me what would be a long delay and an expensive repair bill from the manufacturer. Remember I said "EXPENSIVE."
Ray then contacted me to inform me that he did everything in his power but the watch needed to go to Switzerland for repair. He prepared me for a long wait. Throughout the repair, he stayed in contact with me. Ray then discovered that about two weeks of the delay was due to an error in shipping the watch made by a long time employee. He did not have to tell me that but he took ownership of his portion of the delay, which was really inconsequential in the end.
THe watch was finally returned to him by Chronoswiss. Ray promptly returned the watch to me, wound and time and date properly set. What Ray did not give me is a bill! He absorbed the entire cost of the repair himself because he felt bad for the delay which was not his fault anyway!!!!
When I make my next watch purchase, the way it will happen is I will call Ray and purchasse the watch from him. There will be no calling other retailers. Post sale service like this is so rare and so extraordinary that you cannot put a price on it. REmember, cheap becomes expensive later on!”

“I'm really glad my husband and I chose this place to get our rings. Not only are they knowledgeable and easy to work with, but the store itself is beautiful.”
“Bought some awkwardly shaped stained glass. Very nice woman packaged it up safely and even gift wrapped it. Little touches that come with shopping small local businesses and really make for a wonderful holiday shopping experience.”
“This store was a great find. Owner Deborah was very attentive to assist our group. We focused on the Italian leather bags in many styles and brilliant colors. New styles and colors often and they are displayed in the window. There is a corner at the back of the store for a sale area as well. Other items include jewellery and various items but we hardly had time for a look there. Great store.”
“The women who own this shop are so delightful and so helpful with anything I have ever gone in there for. There are so many options to choose from. They carry things for every occasion from new born baby to almost born baby to wedding to new mommy present to gifts for myself to jewelry. And their prices are very competitive and you can get great gifts for great value.”

421 Thames St, Newport“Nicely crafted bracelets, love the fit and the clasp they use. Very durable. And love the designs! They were helpful and held a specific color and size for me when the new shipment came in. Conveniently on the last day of my trip! I did overhear a girl with a colorful one wear it in the pool and the colors faded from the chlorine so I wouldn’t wear it in the pool.”
“What an unbelievable GEM (haha) of a jeweler! Janet, Becky and Doreen are an incredible team of knowledgeable, helpful, talented and friendly caretakers of all things shiny and sparkling - including people! We are thrilled with our engagement ring and wedding bands. When I needed help finding earrings to wear on my wedding day, Becky found the most perfect pair in minutes! We are forever grateful to the Portobello team for all they have done for us! We can't way to go back!”

Bought the wife a beautiful necklace and anklet. Very friendly staff and great location right on Thames Street! We will definitely be coming back and will also be visiting your store on Nantucket next Summer! Did you guys make the badge I saw at the The Black Dog? Very cool!”
“We love Angel. We come here all the time to fix jewelry/fix necklaces (when the babies pull on them and break them) & get jewelry sized, wouldn’t go to anyone else!”

105 Thames St, Newport“Lovely little jewelry store right in the Brick Marketplace. The young lady working the day we went was helpful and kind. She held the ring I wanted while I finished shopping. Our dog was allowed in the store, as she was in all the Marketplace stores we went to. I loved my ring so much, I forgot to see what shell/gems were in it, and when I called a few day later, the staff member was so knowledgeable and helpful, located the case I can picked the ring from and was able to tell me what was in the piece I bought.”

205 Main St, Wakefield“I'm not much of a shopper but this store is so inviting. You can probably find a gift for just about anyone here. They have a wonderful selection of greeting cards.”
“Not only does Jason and Co. have a great selection of fine jewelry, Jason's customer service is nothing short of spectacular. I ordered a bracelet for my wife that turned out to be a size too big, and he exchanged it for me expediently without charging for the extra shipping. He was responsive with his communication and pleasant to do business with. I highly recommend his shop if you're in the area.”
“The bead shop is open! This is my favorite one in New England now, and a great excuse to go to Jamestown. The owners, Debbie and Peter, are very friendly and helpful. They sell a nice selection of beads, stones, and different cords so you can make your own stuff. The other half of the shop is full of beautiful things they've made themselves, and has a nice assortment of unique little things I haven't seen elsewhere.”
