It all began almost a century ago when Henry C. Reid, a watch and clockmaker, opened the store in 1910 on Broad Street, Bridgeport, CT. When Herb Reid, the son of Henry C. Reid, retired, his partner Arthur R. French Jr. took on three new partners, all of whom had been in his employ. Harry French bought out his father's partners in 1978 and today the certified gemologist remains as chairman of Henry C. Reid. His son, Gregory French, succeeded his dad at the helm of Henry C. Reid as president & CEO in 2020.

Within our jewelry store you'll also find a state-of-the-art workshop where our team of professional jewelers and craftspeople create custom and hand-forged jewelry pieces. With all the work done on premises, we can meet with you one-on-one and keep you informed from the initial design and the manufacturing process to the final product. Our collection has expanded over the years to include a wide range of designers that are particular about their engagement rings, necklaces, earrings, and charms. In addition to our traditional collection of fine jewelry, we also craft beautiful lab diamonds that replicate the growth of diamonds in a controlled environment.

If you are interested in a specific piece, need jewelry repair, or an estate jewelry appraising service, we welcome you to give us a call or visit our jewelry store in person! We have taken immense pride in serving clients all throughout Fairfield, Westport, New Canaan, Stamford, CT, and the surrounding communities over the last 114+ years.
