I love going to Pennyweights...especially around the holidays. They have an amazing selection of unique jewelry, and the owners Geoff and Kelly are so kind and helpful! They've helped me pick out pieces for myself, presents for my family and friends, and they've helped my boyfriend pick out jewelry for me . They travel all over the world to find unique jewelry that you won't find everywhere else, and they take the time to help you find what you love. read more

I am always amazed at the cool items they have in the shop; depending on where the owners have traveled to and what they've chosen to pick up it might be a kick ass paua shell from Hawaii pendant or some other rare stone found in Bali or Thailand. Always great warm customer service and help picking out items for that hard to shop for family member or loved one. read more

I started coming here in Middle School, this is my go-to everyday jewelry wear store. They have all the new in style looks, it does get busy here. Consider visiting during the week. They have great deals on watches around the holidays.... Truly, I don't know where I'd go if this place did not exist. read more

By the way Geoff, my name is Cyndi. It was not a matter of finding my receipt, it was a matter of having to drive far away to get the receipt as I received the necklace as a gift! To be told yes I recognize the necklace as my own and not let me purchase the next size up was very bad customer service! I wasn't asking for the money back! I will not be returning. And I have told as many people as I can, and will continue, to let people know about the bad customer service. Parking is a headache also. read more

Bad customer service and return policy for jewelry that was put on once and tarnished. Not my fault the quality is that bad that it tarnishes with skin contact read more

I never paid much attention to Pennyweights, but my wife discovered it and asks me now to buy her gifts there whenever I'm in town. Prices are very reasonable, my wife loves the unique jewelry styles, and she tells me she is always impressed with the quality. You'll find excellent variety and best of all any gifts are wrapped on the spot. Other pluses and minuses... There is a Starbucks right down the street which is awesome. The only negative is parking can sometimes be competitive. read more

I love this place so much I could live in it. Great and reasonable prices throughout the store and you definitely get your money's worth!!! The staff is so unbelievably helpful that I'm in and out of the store in under 10 minutes every time! They always have exactly what I'm looking for and have great pieces and such a wide range if you're looking for gifts as well!! read more

Pennyweights *sometimes* costs more than it should, but what jewelry doesn't? You can get in and out of here for $20.00, or spend a couple of hundred bucks. I appreciate that kind of flexibility. I like that if there's something trendy going around, I can generally get a better quality version of it here. Example: a leather wrap bracelet with sterling beads instead of plastic or glass ones. They make an effort to stay current. Right now, they are carrying pieces that look like Ippolita but you know, cost $40 instead of $395. Compare Pennyweight's "Sterling Silver & Smoky Quartz Faceted Earrings" to Ippolita's "STERLING SILVER WONDERLAND TEARDROP EARRINGS IN PYRITE". I'll hang on to my extra $350. I've got places to go and things to eat baby. read more

Great jewelry at a very reasonable price. The store is a bit small and can get very cramped on Saturday's but they're very good at keeping a lot of staff on hand at once, so you won't wait too long. The wrapping paper and little ribbon they offer is also great if you're buying a gift. The only issue is parking, it can be a challenge to find a spot. read more

I, too, have been a Pennyweights customer since high school. They always have a good variety of reasonably priced, but nice quality stuff... esp. sterling silver, which is great because it doesn't irritate the skin at all. Now that I don't live near there anymore, I order online. The customer service is still friendly and fast... they even included rubber earring stoppers in my last order, upon request. Good place! read more

A New Canaan classic. Great priced silver jewelry. There is always a gift for someone in here! read more

The best deal in New Canaan! Tons of really reasonably priced and interesting silver jewelry. It's hard to leave there with buying something. The staff is always very helpful and friendly. Even when it's really crowded, they have so many people working that it won't be long before someone helps you. And they will put everything into tiny wrapped boxes with curly ribbon bows for you. *dreamy sigh* Watch for really neat glass rings/beads that the owner makes occasionally. read more

I've been going to Pennyweights since I was in high school. You can always find a gift for someone here - male/female, old/young - and always priced well. Standards are there, as well as trendy surprises. Fine jewelry next to funk. Piercings are also done professionally and with great consultation. read more

The women in this store could not be nicer. I was in today to shop and proceeded to spill hot chocolate from Starbucks. I was very embarrassed and apologetic but did not receive any attitude in return. I bought 2 beautiful bracelets and will be sure to return very soon. ( Without any food or drink in hand). read more

Ive been coming here for so many years for cute little pieces of jewelry. Good prices for a small gift. The new location is very chic. You can find understated earrings are pieces that make a big statement. Good service, every one is very friendly read more

The best kept secret in New Canaan. I have a ladies' day here a few times a year with my mom, cousin and aunt. The girls that work there are very nice and I love the fact that they have so much merchandise that is so affordable. Definitely a must-visit if you're ever in the area. I drive an hour there and back and it's absolutely worth it. read more

I have been shopping for jewelry here since I couldn't see over the counter, (I'm now 28 and 5'7) and so consider myself a knowledgeable critic when it comes to Pennyweights. Set in the heart of New Canaan, I've watched as stores around it have been lost to the turnover of high rents in a (very) wealthy town, yet this little store has somehow managed to grow only in the right directions. The jewelry selection has gotten soooo much better (some of the stuff 8-10 yrs ago was a little dated) as has the quality and yet the prices are STILL phenomenal, ESPECIALLY in this area. (If you know Southern CT you will know what I'm talking about, but I have a feeling even in Boondocks, Missouri they'd be considered a bargain). You would pay triple at least anywhere else for what you'll find there. Everything is either gold or silver - i.e. nothing's going to rub off after a week of wearing it, and the few times I've had an earring post break off or a bracelet clasp fall apart i've just taken the piece in and they've either fixed it on the spot or sent it off to have it repaired. (Even the stuff that I had had for a few years...I told you I've been going forever). Probably most importantly? They've always been sooooo nice about it (even for, say, a broken $8 pair of earrings). The staff definitely deserve an award for how nice they always are - this place can get super busy, especially on weekends and around the holidays, and I certainly wouldn't be that patient with me when the store is so swamped! Plus they do free gift wrapping and it's always looks so cute. So long story short - much love to Pennyweights and I say keep up the good work. Definitely THE best spot for jewelry in this area hands down. Now all they need is their own parking garage...the parking around there can be brutal. read more

Yes! This is a totally fun and inexpensive store in a very high end neighborhood. Buy yourself some sexy earrings for $20 then go across the street to Crumbs for a cupcake. It doesn't get much better than this. read more

Great selection and shockingly affordable (for Fairfield County) sterling and gold vermeil jewelry!

This is the place to go if you are a single dad that put off getting your 12 yr old daughter a gift to the last minute! They have very reasnably priced jewelry and a nice selection. You can find higher scale items as well as cute little charms for little ones. A lucky find for me!!! read more

The staff here is the absolute best. They have a great selection and the gift wrapping is great. The prices are very reasonable and the variety is excellent. The staff greets everyone coming in and never stops smiling. It's worth the drive to visit, and almost impossible to leave without a purchase. A real hidden gem. read more

Been going here since I was a teen. Great jewelry for just about every taste. Cute little charms for necklaces, great earrings and necklaces at an affordable price point. They also take the time to wrap any purchases so makes for a quick, great stop for a last minute gift. read more

Best store EVER!! They have the best selection, prices and nicest staff! I shop here about once a week, they always have the latest styles, and classic pieces as well. I can buy gifts here for all ages which is great for me. read more

Pennyweights is one of the retail gems of New Canaan-- if someone asked me where to shop downtown, this would be my first suggestion. Pennyweights has a broad range of jewelry, from a vast assortment of inexpensive stud earrings for children and adults to a beautiful selection of sterling silver and stone jewelry. They have durable sterling silver jewelry has well as the lesser quality yet very on-trend fashion jewelry, all very reasonably priced. My one note would be to be aware of the lesser priced studs as I have had some break on me-- however only after many uses so I feel like I got what I paid for. They're also the only jewelry store in NC that pierces ears (as far as I know?). The staff is tremendous-- very friendly and very connected to the local community, sponsoring many scholarships and local events. They're also famous for their gift wrapping, to the delight of many children (including myself) who grew up admiring their incredible ribbon-tying abilities. read more
