About us

Founded in 1957 by Claude Dickinson Jr. Today Mr. Dickinson is joined by son Claude Dickinson III and his wife Kathy. As Southern Maryland’s most trusted jeweler, our customers quickly become friends, earning us the privilege to serve second and third generations of families. We believe it’s vitally important to give back to the community where we live and work and were recently recognized by the Calvert County Chamber of Commerce as the 2009 Small Business of the Year. With locations in Dunkirk and Prince Frederick, our staff is as committed as our family to serving all the jewelry needs of our community. From the first day we opened our belief has been that there is no one more important than the people walking through our front doors and that continues to be true today.

Ring issues: 1. Needed to go up 3 ring sizes 2. My rings were broken 3. All the rings needed cleaning/polishing I was very nervous that the rings wouldn't come out right. Boy was I wrong! The rings look AMAZING! I'm so blown away with the careful attention to detail that was put in by Sam, the Master Jeweler (Dunkirk location). I would definitely recommend these people for any type of work. They were very professional and friendly. Don't hesitate coming here! All I can really say is WOW!
Description of Work: My husband and I needed to get some work done to our rings. We what got done was ring polishing and ring resizing. We decided to take our chances with Dickenson's (Dunkirk location).

I initially visited Dickinson's out of curiosity. Dolly was the first face I saw, and of course, I and quot;bee-linedand quot; it to the estate jewelry case. Once there, she and I shared stories of jewelry acquired and loved over the years. At once, she struck me as a lovely. warm individual and her impeccable knowledge of her craft was both a surprise and a delight. I purchased a really interesting gold chain and put down a deposit on some diamond earrings the same day. Within a month and a half, Dickinson's had $6000 of my money through various pieces, and though their prices are a bit higher than I am wont to pay, I can't say I regret the expenditure. Dolly was a joy and a pleasure, and I do not exaggerate when I tell you that if it were not for her, it is highly improbable that Dickinson's would have gotten so much of my money. My last purchase there was a smaller pair of heart-shaped diamond earrings, and they, like the other pieces I have bought there, will be among my favorites!
Description of Work: I am a fierce jewelry lover and simply adore unusual pieces, so this review is a pleasure to write! In terms of customer service, attentiveness, and knowledge about jewelry, I have known no better than Dickinson Jeweler's Dolly, the salewoman who provided services. She is warm, exceedingly efficient, and the most attentive salesperson I have ever encountered. Once made, she kept her promises to follow-up on my requests and provide accurate and comprehensive information. She greets me with a hug, and I know that any time I have a request for a piece, no matter how odd and hard to find (like my recent acquisition of two pairs of heart-shaped diamond earrings), she will search heaven and earth to find it. However, if you are looking for anything approximating wholesale pricing, this is not the place for you. This is a fully retail jeweler, and if you do receive a discount, the most you can hope for is 5% off the original price, even if you spend a significant amount ($6000 for me). Even given this fact, I will return to Dickinson's, and for no other reasons than its selection and Dolly herself, I would recommend a peek inside this store. They have wonderful merchandise!

They were very good. They had it done in less than a week. This is the second time I've had them work on my rings, and I was very pleased the other time, too.
Description of Work: I had some rings cleaned and resized. They also reset the stones.
