The Beginning

At award-winning D. Cole Jewelers, we specialize in beautifully handcrafted platinum, gold, and sterling silver pieces — many of which are designed and made right here in our Old Port shop in Portland, Maine. Since 1981, we’ve proudly remained a small, family-owned and operated business, founded by Dean and Denise Cole after years of selling their designs at college craft shows and summer festivals. From our first seasonal store in Saco in 1980 to our current home on Exchange Street, our passion for fine jewelry and personal service has only grown. They welcomed Denise’s brother Jeff into the business as a jeweler, further cementing D. Cole Jewelers as a true family-owned and operated company.

The Next Generation

As D. Cole Jewelers continues to grow, we’re proud to welcome the next generation into the workshop and beyond. Ryan Cole remains a staple in our jeweler’s shop, bringing decades of skill and creativity to each custom piece he designs. Emily Cole Rodstrom, continues to be a friendly and familiar face on the sales floor, helping customers find pieces they’ll treasure for a lifetime. And behind the scenes, Lindsey Cole — Ryan’s wife — keeps everything running smoothly as our dedicated office manager. Jeff’s son, Quinn, has officially joined us as a jeweler — continuing the family tradition with a fresh perspective and a deep passion for craftsmanship.

With now four talented jewelers on staff and a close-knit team behind every detail, we’re proud to carry on the legacy of quality, craftsmanship, and heartfelt service that D. Cole Jewelers was built on — now, and for generations to come.
