About

Toodie's Fine Jewelry is a second-generation, family-owned jeweler in Quincy, Massachusetts, ten miles south of Boston. Howard G. Jacobs opened the store in 1982 and named it for his mother, Toodie. His sons, Adam and Andrew, bought the business in 2023 and run it together today.

We specialize in custom engagement rings, and the design work is free.

DESIGNED FOR YOU, NOT PULLED FROM A CASE

Most couples arrive with something in mind, a screenshot, a photo of a grandmother's ring, a rough idea they can't quite describe. We sit down with you, talk through stone, metal, and budget, then design your ring in 3D and show you a photorealistic rendering before anything is made.

There is no design fee and no deposit to see it. Almost nobody approves the first version, and that is the point. Thinner band, lower profile, more space between the stones, we revise until it is right. You only commit once you love it.

We are a maker, not a dealer of labels. Your ring is designed, cast, and set here in our building, not ordered from a catalog house. If something ever needs attention, you know exactly where to find the people who made it.

HEIRLOOM STONES AND FAMILY RINGS

Some of the best rings we build start with a stone someone inherited. A grandmother's diamond in a setting nobody would wear today. A ring that doesn't fit and lives in a drawer.

We examine every heirloom stone under a loupe before designing around it, and we tell you honestly what we find; including if a stone is chipped or a mounting has been repaired before. Occasionally a stone isn't sound enough to reset safely, and it's better to learn that at the first meeting than after the work has started.

DIAMONDS, BANDS, AND HONEST GUIDANCE

We carry GIA-graded natural diamonds and lab-grown stones, and we'll show you both side by side under magnification and in daylight so you can decide for yourself. We'll tell you where an extra thousand dollars makes a visible difference and where it genuinely does not.

We also design matching and contoured wedding bands, men's bands, and anniversary pieces. Many of our couples come back to us for their bands, then for anniversary gifts years later. That is the business our father built, and it is still the one we want.

For wedding party and groom gifts, we carry new and pre-owned fine watches, including Rolex, Cartier, and Omega, and we source specific pieces worldwide on request.

TIMELINE

Tell us your proposal date or wedding date at the first meeting and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it. Which we WILL! However,We would rather turn down a deadline than miss one.

VISIT US

Toodie's is at 1163 Hancock Street in Quincy, with free parking behind the building. We serve couples across the South Shore and Greater Boston, including Braintree, Milton, Weymouth, Hingham, Cohasset, and Marshfield.

Walk-ins are welcome, but we recommend booking an appointment for engagement rings so we can give you an unhurried block of time. Call (617) 479-9464.

Great team, quality products

My now-husband and I walked into Toodie's a few weeks before our wedding to buy wedding bands, so pretty short notice, and the team was friendly, engaged, and answered all of our questions. They were especially helpful when my husband's ring was wrong! The vendor sent the right ring in the wrong size even though the correct style/size had been ordered - Toodie's ordered a new ring right away and had it in time for our special day.

Beautiful Jewelry, Quality Service!

My now husband worked with Andrew to help design my engagement ring. Andrew was attentive and helped design the ring of my dreams! My husband was so impressed with the service he received, we ended up going to back to purchase our wedding bands and mother of the groom gift here. We worked with both Andrew and Howard on two separate occasions to choose the perfect wedding bands. They were thoughtful, helpful, and answered all of our questions during the process. There were especially patient while I tried on several wedding bands before selecting the perfect one! Being a family business, the majority of the rings are made in store with the utmost care and precision. After selecting our bands, we were even offered complementary engraving which was a wonderful touch! We highly recommend working with Toodies due to their quality and professionalism. We will definitely be returning again for future jewelry purchases!

Local Jeweler that will assist with all styles.

Thank you for all that you at Toodies have done for our wedding!
I have a 1920's engagement ring that had engraving on the sides. It is a 4.25 and the engraving wasn't all the way around originally. I expressed my wished and it wasn't an issue at all. I thought that I would have a hard time finding an engagement ring that would fit the style of my ring. Not only did we find the wedding band I loved, it was made in platinum and it was curved to fit the shape of my engagement ring. The engraving was transferred and matches perfectly.
My husband found his ring on the Toodies catalog that's online. It was forged to fit his size 7 ring finger and it came in a lot sooner then we had anticipated.
Thank you again! Thank you for always being welcoming when we come in! For greeting us with a smile and listening to us. We are each heavily tattooed and there are some stores that we decide not to go into because of how we are treated. That is not the case at Toodies. We are happy to have a local jeweler that is easy to get to and we enjoy having the privilege of recommending to our friends.

The entire team works together to make sure that you have the very best experience. They are experts on diamonds, what will work best for you and your budget, and they provide a comfortable shopping environment. I fully recommend Toodies and look forward to my next trip in to see them! Thank you Howie, Happy, Adam, and Andrew.

My fiance cannot stop raving about how wonderful Adam and Howie were in the process of selecting and purchashing my engagement ring... and I can BARELY stop looking at it! It's absolutely stunning and I get constant compliments. Toodie's really knows their stuff, and will take care of you not just start to finish but forever.

Adam is AMAZING! My engagement ring is very unique and I was flustered looking for the best options for wedding bands. I thought I had a fantastic design in mind and he carried it out to my exact specifications; however, when I saw the band I realized I didn't like it. He didn't have to take it back but he did and allowed me to choose from other bands (with his input and suggestions) that were better suited companions to my engagement ring. I recommend anyone shopping for jewelry to go to Toodie's. They have beautiful pieces at great prices and the service is you will receive will be matched by no one!

Amazing! I looked high and low for the perfect engagement ring for my future wife, couldn't find it anywhere besides online. Decided to check Toodie's after a friend recommended them to me and boy was I impressed. I went in and was warmly greeted by Adam who showed me what he had in stock and he had a few rings which were close. His response unlike the other jewelers I had been to was OK let me draw something up and then we can make a model and go from there. It was PERFECT! Months later when we went back to get engagement rings I knew we were not going anywhere but Toodie's, when we walked in Adam's brother started to help us and Adam while helping a customer excused himself for a brief second and told his brother that he was going to have to custom make a ring to match exactly what he had made before and went back to his customer while we waited. Almost 6 months later and he remembered the engagement ring he made for us. Later when we went back to pick up our rings Adam was out on vacation and we talked with Howie. He showed us our rigns and we asked for an engraving to which he did free of charges and then we mentioned we were going to Italy on our honeymoon. His wife overheard us and Howie and her told us all about their trip to Italy, we must have talked for half an hour.

I will never buy jewelry from any other retailer.

We had a great experience with Toodie's. My engagement ring is beautiful. When we went in to pick out our wedding bands they were so helpful. We didn't feel pressured while we were shopping, which is a pet peeve of both me and my husband. They even engraved our wedding bands for free! Highly, highly recommend Toodie's for engagement and wedding band purchases!!
