Suzanne Dines

It is said that a compendium of talent ensures the long success of any endeavor.  With a collective 50+ years of experience, Suzanne Dines Pearl and Bead can attest to this saying.

For GIA–trained Suzanne Dines, gemstones and pearls are a lifetime passion.  From a childhood meeting with famed lapidary, John Cornwall, to a teenager’s business of stringing hippie beads, Suzanne has followed her fascination with gems. It led her to a job with a Boston company, now shuttered Homer’s Jewelry on Winter Street, in 1977. Since that year, and growing in reputation, Suzanne Dines has been a presence in the Jewelers Building for wholesale and retail customers.  Her company, Pearl and Bead, is the oldest restringing business in Boston. Her wholesale clients include the best of the New England area jewelers and her retail clients come from far and wide for custom design, repairs, restoring vintage pieces or for the best prices on the latest fashions. But you don’t come to Pearl and Bead just for price, you come for their expertise.
