Shreve, Crump & Low
About
Shreve, Crump & Low calls itself America’s jeweler since 1796, and the family-owned New England business dates its history to that year. Its three-story flagship at 39 Newbury Street sells diamonds, colored gemstones, estate jewelry and watches, alongside what it calls one of the country’s finest collections of china and giftware. The estate cases can include pieces by Jean Schlumberger and jewelry by Oscar Heyman, and the watch salon carries Swiss and German makers.
It suits an engagement-ring search, a milestone gift, a serious watch purchase or simply a browse through a Boston institution on a Back Bay afternoon. The store sits at the Arlington Street end of Newbury Street, and the nearest T station is Arlington on the Green Line, at Arlington and Boylston Streets.
Jewelry and watches
The jewelry side covers engagement rings and wedding bands, fine jewelry by stone, magnificent jewels, and antique and estate pieces. The watch salon lists authorized brands including Blancpain, Breguet, Breitling, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Omega and Panerai, and a certified pre-owned program that includes Vacheron Constantin. Appointments can be requested online for rings, fine jewelry, the watch salon, appraisals, a bridal registry or selling and trading pieces. New watches cannot be returned or exchanged once bought, so settle on the model before you pay.
The Gurgling Cod and the gift floor
The home and gift department sells crystal, china, silver and home accents from makers such as Baccarat, Herend, Lalique, Simon Pearce, Steuben and Waterford, plus Boston gifts and baby gifts. The store’s signature exclusive is the Original Gurgling Cod, a fish-shaped pitcher sold in several colors.
Service and repair
The store offers complimentary jewelry cleaning and inspection, repairs, pearl stringing, ring resizing, engraving and appraisals, and it employs master watchmakers for servicing. Boston Magazine named it Best of Boston for watch repair in 2021.
Brand boutiques on the same block
Shreve, Crump & Low lists two single-brand watch boutiques among its locations on the same stretch of Newbury Street: Vacheron Constantin Boston at 36 Newbury Street and Jaeger-LeCoultre Boston at 30 Newbury Street. Both keep longer hours than the flagship and open on Sundays; the times are in the FAQ.
