About Our Legacy

Located in the heart of historic downtown Exeter, N.H., Exeter Jewelers is a family-owned boutique with more than forty years of expertise in fine jewelry, custom design, and heirloom redesign. Owner and in-house jeweler Mario Ponte, together with his daughter Alia—both certified by the Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A.)—bring exceptional craftsmanship, knowledge, and care to every client experience.

We offer complimentary consultations and a personalized, collaborative design process, ensuring you are involved every step of the way. Whether you visit us in person, schedule a private appointment, or work with us remotely from anywhere in the country, our commitment to service and detail remains the same. As proud members of Jewelers of America, we can source nearly any conflict-free diamond or colored gemstone at competitive pricing, tailored to your preferred viewing method.

In addition to our custom design services, we provide expert jewelry repairs, restoration, and professional care for your most meaningful pieces.

Whether we are crafting an engagement ring, redesigning a cherished heirloom, repairing a beloved piece, or helping you choose the perfect gift, no concept is too complex. We collaborate with a skilled team of CAD designers and bench experts to bring your vision to life with precision and artistry.

We are honored to be part of your most important moments and milestones. Our passion, dedication, and attention to detail ensure your jewelry will be worn, adored, and celebrated for generations to come.
