When two Rhode Island School of Design graduates first opened the doors to THE SPECTRUM in 1966, the concept of their store, to showcase only the handmade work of American craftsmen, was unique. The owners, craftsmen in laminated stained-glass, wished to sell their own work as well as that of other artists they had met at craft shows in New England. They recognized that this work represented remarkable talent, impeccable craftsmanship and lasting value.
Through the years THE SPECTRUM has evolved into an American original -- a collection of extraordinary talents. Each piece you purchase from THE SPECTRUM represents the best of American craftsmanship. Its classic design and enduring value prove its timelessness. With such a wide selection of jewelry, home furnishings and objects d'art, THE SPECTRUM provides an unparalleled opportunity for finding the perfect gift for a special occasion or just the right accessory for your home or office.
