COMPANY INITIATIVES
Responsible sourcing of diamonds and gemstones . Precious metals recycling . Local police , fire and military support through various initiatives . A continuous effort to source products that are made in the USA .
HOW WE STARTED
M . R . T . has strong roots in the custom design and wholesale marketplace . As a downtown Providence Jeweler in the 1970s and ’ 80s , Joe Audette developed international diamond contacts so direct that he was able to wholesale products to many other Rhode Island retailers . Today these overseas diamond relationships remain and allow M . R . T . to not only source the finest diamonds in the world , but at prices that cannot be matched .
WHAT MAKES US UNIQUE
“ We were providing custom jewelry for our clients in the 1970s long before other leading retailers were able to ” says Dave Audette . In present time M . R . T . has combined the ability to custom design and complete in store repairs alongside Rhode Island ’ s largest GIA graded diamond inventory .
