History

Established in 1983.

Harper & Faye Jewelers was established in 1983 to cater to the needs of Boston’s Financial District clientele. The idea — though innovative at a time when malls ruled the Earth — was simple: Make it convenient for downtown professionals to shop where they work, and they will do so. And if you exceed their expectations, they will shop again. This was no small feat, given the sophistication and financial savvy of this type of customer. Don’t work downtown? You can still shop with us: We offer a robust website and also are available for design consults by appointment.
