Our Museum

At The Museum of American Jewelry Design & Manufacturing, we are dedicated to the history of the American jewelry design and manufacturing industry. Our collections include Industrial Age designs, tools, and machinery, as well as insights into the history and culture of the Providence, Rhode Island, jewelry industry. The Museum offers enriching historical, educational, and touristic experiences.

During a tour, we focus on the American story through the preservation of our country’s jewelry manufacturing past. Throughout the journey of an exhibition, guests can experience the processes of craft and the history of an industry—maybe even while creating their own souvenir! The Museum of American Jewelry Design & Manufacturing creates connections between the makers of yesterday, the museum visitor of today, and tomorrow’s designers.
