COMMON QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about our native Maine gems, custom ring process, or store hours? Here is everything you need to know before visiting our Belfast shop.
Maine is home to some of the finest tourmaline deposits in the world, discovered first at Mount Mica in 1820 and at Dunton Quarry in Newry in 1972. Maine Tourmaline is famous for its vibrant watermelon bi-color crystals (green shell with raspberry pink center), rich mint-to-forest greens, and velvety pastel pinks. Bennett’s has sourced and set these authentic Maine gems for over 35 years.
Absolutely! Custom redesign is one of our flagship services. You can bring family heirlooms, inherited rings, or loose gems. We can safely remove the stones, melt down and reuse your original gold or platinum, and craft a brand-new contemporary setting that honors your family history while fitting your modern aesthetic.
We perform full on-site bench jewelry repair including ring resizing, prong retipping, diamond and gemstone tightening/replacement, clasp repairs, chain soldering, and ultrasonic steam cleaning. For watches, we provide battery replacements, link adjustment, gasket seals, and general servicing.
Walk-ins are always warmly welcomed! We are open 7 days a week, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, all year round at our Belfast gallery on U.S. Route 1 East. If you are planning an elaborate custom engagement ring consultation, you are welcome to call ahead at (207) 338-5530 so our master jeweler can prepare curated gemstone trays for you.

Lady Jane Lilly2026-05-12Bennett’s was a great part of my childhood and adulthood. When I lived in Camden and even in the surrounding towns my mum and sisters and I would always go to Bennett’s. It's one of my absolute favourite places to stop at. I have a lot of jewelry pieces from there. 10/10 Must stop and must shop. The owners are amazing. And the workers are amazing! I can’t wait to make a trip and stop in ♥️
Ilene Weintraub2026-03-01Bennett’s Gems & Jewelry store is beautiful. I have been going there for decades. Their gems, fossils, crystals and jewelry are amazing, top notch with a huge variety and price range. The owner, Kim Dunn is delightful, very knowledgeable as is her staff and you can roam around freely without being hassled or pushed to buy anything. I have been buying stones and crystals there for many years and am always happy with what I buy. I took my cousins in from California and they loved everything as well. I highly recommend this wonderful shop. Ilene Weintraub
