Welcome to the Jewelry District

 
Innovation and historic beauty abound in this culinary destination.
 
Once a vibrant center for jewelry manufacturing, the Jewelry District is now Providence’s most dynamic site of innovation and enterprise.

Dating back to the late 1700s, the Jewelry District has always had a glittering reputation, starting with the town’s first jeweler developing a process for rolled plated gold. This innovation transformed the jewelry industry and set Providence on a course to become the Jewelry Capital of the World. This innovative spirit weaves its way through the district today, inspiring a new generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and business owners.
