The Providence Jewelry Museum is a fascinating place, with a collection of fine and fashion jewelry from the 18th century to the present.
Their holdings also include samplings of related pieces, such as match safes, pen and fruit knives, card cases, and dresser items.
Most of the pieces originated in Providence and its environs.
Unfortunately, their website is rather skimpy when it comes to delineating their collection…they want you to visit, instead.
In order to see the museum, you do need to make an appointment.
The Providence Jewelry Museum is open by appointment.
Email them at info@providencejewelrymuseum.com
them at 401-274-0999, or 401-781-3100.
Interestingly, the address below is not listed on their website, presumably because they want to make sure you call for an appointment first.
The address:
1 Spectacle Street
Cranston, RI 02904-2404
