I visited Doug after having gone to a few downtown Portsmouth jewelers who either didn't do custom…read morework, or were unable to during the summer months. I found his website online and was happy to go to a local jeweler walking distance from my office. My fiance had bought me a vintage platinum diamond ring that I wanted to make a custom wedding band insert for. I brought Doug a sketch of my ideas and he was happy to do the work. As the process went along I met with him to go over the progress and was able to have a lot of input. The final product was FANTASTIC and was exactly what I had envisioned. We were so thrilled we also had my fiance's wedding band done as well to match mine. He did the work quickly, with very fair prices and was able to meet whenever. He does fabulous platinumsmith work and I would definitely return.

I was initially looking for a replacement strap for a Tudor watch I own (a Black Bay Bronze Blue Bucherer) and then spent some time sampling a number of both Tudor and Rolex watches they had on display. My wife and I were invited to a special member's only sale in progress in the top floor of the building and found a beautiful necklace for her to bring home. Prices were very much in line with what I expected and the customer service was top-notch - we'll be back!!

It has always been my dream to incorporate my grandmother's rings into my wedding. The rings hold…read morenot only sentimental value but also represent the love and commitment my grandparents shared. With that in mind, I brought her engagement ring and wedding band to Hampstead Jewelers, seeking to have them resized and to explore options for replicating my grandmother's wedding band so that I could proudly wear all three rings--a complete three-ring wedding set--on my special day. When I returned to pick up the rings, I was truly blown away by the exceptional craftsmanship they displayed in replicating my grandmother's wedding band. The intricate details, from the delicate engravings to the polished finish, were executed with such precision that the replica looked almost identical to the original. This level of attention to detail far exceeded any experience I have had with other jewelers I've visited in the past. Hampstead Jewelers is a family-owned and operated business, and you can immediately feel the warmth and welcoming atmosphere as soon as you step inside. They all greet you with genuine smiles and takes the time to listen carefully to your ideas and desires. They are not just about selling jewelry; they are passionate about helping you realize your vision for the perfect ring. Whether you have a specific design in mind or need guidance in creating one, they are dedicated to making your dream ring a reality. In addition to their custom designs, they offer an impressive selection of handmade jewelry that showcases both creativity and craftsmanship. Each piece tells a story, and you can sense the care that goes into creating every item. I wholeheartedly recommend Hampstead Jewelers to anyone looking for beautiful, meaningful jewelry, especially if you want something that honors family traditions like I did.

Which after visiting here, she has certainly found a new favorite store! They have many crystals including a whole bunch in awesome unique shapes. Besides crystals they have a ton of other amazing items, which the worker told us he and many others there make a bunch of items, like he said he made a bunch of the bracelets. You could spend a long time browsing here and find either things for yourself or others as gifts. We found some perfect gifts during our browsing. My wife also picked out a horror-themed item for herself as well. Prices seemed very reasonable for artisan and quality-made goods! After spending $30 my wife also got to spin their wheel and got $5 off the purchase which was a great deal as well. Such a friendly worker who we had a great chat with and he told us some great information about the shop. Great local spot worth stopping in and checking out!

Let the misses wander around - the store is bright while still feeling warm and inviting, and doesn't detract from the various (and often colorful/intricate) merchandise on their tables and walls. Prices seem fair and there's plenty of selection here that seemed pretty unique and worth seeing. Enjoy!

The young woman working the shop (very professional) was patient and I felt no pressure to make a purchase. I ended up purchasing three coins I needed for my type set album. Prices were lower than I would have spent on EBay and I felt good about supporting a local shop. Great experience.

Driving along a main road in search of our breakfast stop, we passed by Claudette's, not realizing…read morethat it was in her home. My mom and I were up for the weekend and we were intrigued by some pictures found online, so we decided to add a stop to our agenda. When we arrived, there were a few cars there, so we parked near them and a door that we assumed was the entrance. When we entered we were overwhelmed by the amount of products, followed by the amount of space that was dedicated to crafting. I wouldn't think that so much stuff could fit so neatly into one person's home. The first few aisles are lined with charms for necklaces, bracelets and other needs for crafting projects. There were rows of beads, gems, and other fun goodies. I found a bunch of wreath making supplies, a room of flowers and a room of ribbon...and some Christmas items. The owner is a super nice person and I can only assume that she was "the" Claudette, since I never did ask her name. My mother and I were just so excited speaking with her and checking out the craft samples that she and her family had made. This place is for the true crafter. One who isn't afraid to spend their time looking through thousands of items just to find that perfect piece. Though I'm sure if you ask, you will be told right where you will find what you're looking for. I did not see any scrapbook or junk journal type materials. Because the business is in the lower portion of a home, I would assume it is due to climate control. Did I mention that the prices are quite reasonable? I left with a full bag of so many fun things that I just can't wait to dive into. The store is closed on Sunday and Monday, so be sure to plan accordingly. Mom and I are already planning our next trip.
