Established in 1960 by Robert and Gloria Messerlian, the company continued to evolve when their son Paul Messerlian came onboard full-time in 1987. Paul expanded the retail division into what has become one of Rhode Island’s largest and most premier jewelry stores. Paul’s daughter, Janina Messerlian, joined the company in 2018 to carry the family business forward and into the future.
Our goal has always been to make the jewelry purchasing experience what it should be: comfortable and exciting at the same time. That means creating an atmosphere where customers feel relaxed and unintimidated. It also means willing to do whatever is necessary to provide you with a piece of jewelry that will make you glad you came to Baxter’s every time you look at it.
