About Mullen Jewelers

The largest difference between ourselves and other online jewelry stores, is that we are also a real physical jewelry store in Massachusetts, and have been for over a century. Your emails and phone calls are always answered by an owner, or full-time store employee, and never routed through a customer service department.

We are blessed to have a full-time and very talented goldsmith with over 11 years of experience at the bench. Her name is Rachel, and she handles all repairs, custom designs and stone setting.

We make sure to keep our pricing and selection extremely competitive with other online stores.

We understand how important each and every jewelry purchase is, and we have for over 130 years.

With 5 generations of experience, there is no more qualified store to trust with your jewelry purchase. We maintain a small, professional staff, 3 of whom are Mullen’s, to ensure that you always receive a first class customer service experience. Everytime you walk through our doors, you will be working with an experienced member of our staff, and an owner is always available.

We credit our continued success, in large part to the relationships we are able to form with our customers. We strive to get to a place a trust with honest information, straight-forward, no-haggle pricing, and an unending commitment to treat you the way we’d wish to be treated.

We’re a long established, single family run business based in Swansea, MA. We were founded in 1893, in Fall River, MA, by an immigrant textile mill worker turned door-to-door salesman, Joseph F. Mullen. He started our business on a foundation of fairness, compassion, obsessive customer service, and we try our best to maintain that tradition everyday.  To see our full story and learn about our business, take a look at ourabout uspage.

At Mullen Bros. Jewelers, we believe in pricing our jewelry fairly the first-time and never use phony discounts or sales gimmicks. Therefore, we do not use year round discount codes or discount coupons. However, we know you love a great deal and frequently offer special promotions, heavily discounted sales items, and giveaways alongside our year round competitive prices. The best way to stay up to date with our current promotions is to follow us on Facebook.
