Originally from a small southern town, Newport, Rhode Island was a perfect fit for RoseMary Laramee. After the
extensive travel required selling her own jewelry designs, opening a retail store seemed a logical way to remain
in the jewelry industry while staying in one place.

With her love of beauty and great appreciation for natural surroundings, this small New England town fit the bill. With Newport’s strong sense of community spirit, leisurely pace and subtle sophistication, RoseMary found home.

No, Down Under Jewelry is not from Australia, and no, we do not specialize in opals. So, why Down Under Jewelry?
In 1987, RoseMary opened a studio space “down under” the historic Valeteria dry cleaning building on Thames
Street in Newport, Rhode Island. From that first serendipitous location, Down Under Jewelry was born.

In 1995, Down Under Jewelry moved up and across the street to its present space in what was once the old Carrellas pharmacy. Bigger, better and busier than ever, the new retail store left RoseMary with little time to create her own designs. Down Under Jewelry quickly became a local hot spot and “must see” for visitors.

With our online store, this singularly unique shopping experience is now at your fingertips any time you wish!

Ahhh... The Power of Jewelry.

Whether it’s bracelets made from seed pods, rings of lucite or luxurious and lavish
diamond necklaces, Down Under Jewelry is proud of its unique collection.

With a background in jewelry design and discriminating taste, RoseMary goes to great lengths to unearth new talent. Leaving no stone unturned and finding irresistible goodies are never ending pursuits. It’s always a great challenge, but also gratifying and satisfying. The reward…discovering new designers and introducing new collections.

Our team…creative, confident, eclectic and innovative. Each member of our team brings to Down Under Jewelry
unique talents, passions and a true love for jewelry.

“Putting together a team with that perfect blend of individuality and personalities is as important to me as product selection. It’s essential for us to all share a similar ethos, reverence for life and that adrenaline rush when UPS delivers new packages.”

These combined elements perfectly embody the spirit of Down Under Jewelry.
