Come see the difference that makes!

Advantages of an Independent Jewelry Store

Our independence is your independence! An independent jewelry store such as Christie’s Fine Jewelry benefits you, the customer, in many important ways;
  • More personal service. At Christie’s, we get to know you and your family as our neighbors. We want to help you because we care about you as persons.
  • Better value for your money. With lower overhead and advertising costs, we can pass along those savings to give you higher quality for a lower price.
  • Faster response times. Custom design and repair work can be completed more quickly, since we do it ourselves right on our premises. That means quicker delivery and service to you.
  • Personal consultation from expert jewelers. Unlike the large chain stores, our staff is eager to work with you as long as it takes to help you find or design exactly the right piece. And we will follow up with you to make sure you are completely satisfied.
  • Reduced risk. As an independent jeweler, our reputation is too important to risk by selling you inferior merchandise or by marking up prices only to mark them down again as a “sale.” At Christie’s, you’ll know what you’re getting: the highest value possible.
  • Support for Your Local Community. Your patronage helps your local community by strengthening our local economy and through our company’s support of non-profit, charitable organizations.


Our Story

Since 1994 Jim and Sue Malanga have been serving the needs of jewelry customers in Manchester and the Greater Hartford area. Originally located in a small structure, “the Pink House,” at the corner of Deming and Avery in Manchester, we moved our store nearby to its present location at 189 Deming St. in 2002. Fortunately, our loyal customers tagged along!

Our present location, by providing more space, affords several advantages. We can now display more merchandise, more attractively. We are also able to accommodate the necessary equipment for making repairs and adjustments on site, thereby meeting our customers’ needs more efficiently. And finally, we are able to increase our staff in order to provide a higher level of professional service, especially in the area of custom design.

Throughout the years, we have offered the highest value to our customers in terms of the quality of merchandise for the best price. We stand behind our jewelry: if you are dissatisfied, we will do everything we can to make it right. By pursuing such policies as an independent, family-owned business, we have established a strong reputation for integrity and trust and have built a large following of loyal customers.

 As active members of the local community, we are here to stay—for the sake of our customers and our community. If you are new to the area or to Christie’s, come see us, and let us show you how we are “different by design!”

"Dear Christie's Fine Jewelry designers, jewelers, and kind staff:
My husband surprised me with the final product of our custom ring project a few days ago and I am still smiling and admiring the fantastic job you all did! I am amazed at the perfect craftsmanship and design - you exceeded all of my expectations and I am profoundly grateful! Special thanks to Marnie and Jim.  I'll have to visit you again some time.
