OUR STORY

One Family. Four Generations. Over 100 Years.

DeScenza Diamonds first opened in 1915 at the historic Downtown Crossing district of Boston, Massachusetts. Alfred F. DeScenza started the business very modestly, in a tiny office on the 6th floor of 387 Washington Street. He built his reputation based on integrity, honesty and 5-star customer service.

In 1946, Al’s son, Fred DeScenza, and Fred’s brother in law, Hugh MacIsaac, joined the business. Together, they grew from a one-room office in Boston’s diamond district to 6000 square feet of space on the entire 6th floor of the Diamond and Jewelry Building

Today, our flagship jewelry store in downtown Boston is still located across from the Millennium Tower and Shoppers Park. Upon entering, a bronze mural commissioned by DeScenza Diamonds lights up the lobby. However, after taking the elevator up to the sixth floor, the doors open to something even more spectacular - a 6000 square foot showroom, overflowing with diamonds, watches, and fine jewelry!

You can visit our 4 Massachusetts locations in Boston, Framingham, Hingham and Peabody. Alfred DeScenza would undoubtedly be happy to see his family's continued passion for the business.

Committed to the highest environmental, social and business standards, DeScenza carries only the most beautiful and rare diamonds, responsibly sourced from select mines. Our inventory includes GIA certified diamonds as well as the Forevermark diamond collection.

We also feature designers like Sasha Primak, Sylvie, Sofer, Ed Levin, Shy Creation, Anna Beck and Fope; as well as timepieces from Baume and Mercier, Raymond Weil, Michele, Movado, and Longines. Additionally, DeScenza carries gifts from Simon Pearce, Mariposa, Chelsea, and Reed and Barton.

For over a century, DeScenza has been one of the most trusted jewelry stores in the state of Massachusetts. We specialize in bringing brilliance to every celebration in your life. As a passionate family of jewelers, we warmly welcome you to discover the many exciting facets DeScenza Diamonds has to offer.
