The very first Ross-Simons retail store opened in historic Providence, R.I. in 1952 with a mission to provide exceptional quality jewelry and luxury items at the most affordable prices possible. As the concept took off, the company quickly expanded. Its second and third stores followed in 1965 and 1975, and its first catalog was mailed in 1981. Since then, it has opened many Ross-Simons stores throughout the country, all of them inspired by and dedicated to this mission. Ross-Simons also has an impressive selection of high quality collectibles and home decor. The company boasts the best in craftsmanship, beauty and affordability. Its products include diamonds, estate jewelry, collectibles and tableware. Today, Ross-Simons operates 14 retail and outlet stores in nine states and mails more than 60 million catalogs annually across the globe. Its main offices are in Cranston, R.I.
