John Medeiros Jewelry Collections

After coming to America at the age of nine, John Medeiros began his storied career in the jewelry district of Providence, RI, at 12, working on production lines after school. In 1985, he established Tahoe Jewelry, providing the jewelry industry and prominent designers like Gucci with intricate polishing and stone setting services. Influenced by the skilled and talented artisans of the Renaissance and a vision to produce the highest quality, affordable jewelry, he would sketch and conceptualize ideas at night. The vision became a reality with the launch of The John Medeiros Jewelry Collection in 2000. Today, The Collection is one of the few jewelry lines still produced from concept to completion in Rhode Island.

In keeping with our artisanal roots, The Collection can be found in qualified, independent retail stores nationwide. John Medeiros is a jewelry expert like no other; his handmade designs are created with passion that results in perfection. Each piece is handcrafted with: Base Material: Non-precious lead-free premium alloy with .05% silver, which is strong and lightweight. Overlay/Finish/ Electronic Plate: Rhodium and 14Kt gold, a permanent non-tarnish, easy to care for finish. Rhodium, a derivative of platinum, has all the platinum attributes with the added benefit of being harder, lasting longer, and a whiter tone. Stones: Our product stones are Cubic Zirconium. Even when diamonds' glitter is undeniably gorgeous, high-quality stones are expensive, and many women turn to cubic zirconia (also known as CZ) as an affordable substitute. An engagement ring, necklace, or pair of earrings designed with this synthetic stone can be just as beautiful as any natural diam
