About Us

“We’re just two guys who believe everyone deserves an exceptional experience when shopping for engagement rings, wedding bands, and the jewelry that marks life’s greatest adventures.”

Our story is built on more than 25 years in the jewelry industry and a simple belief: a boutique should feel personal, welcoming, and deeply connected to its community. Ocean State Diamond Co was created to blend craftsmanship with conversation, luxury with comfort.

From custom engagement ring design to curated designer collections and expert repairs, every detail is intentional. We focus on education, transparency, and making sure each piece marks a meaningful chapter in someone’s life.

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to our community. Through local partnerships, events, and genuine relationships, we strive to be more than a jewelry store. We’re a place where every guest feels seen, supported, and inspired.

With over 25 years in the jewelry industry, Ken Barber brings a wealth of knowledge and heart to Ocean State Diamond Co. His career has spanned everything from custom design and diamond sourcing to helping clients find the perfect piece to mark life’s biggest moments — all with a deep commitment to quality and care. Before stepping into the world of fine jewelry, Ken proudly served 8 years in the U.S. Army, where he developed the discipline, integrity, and leadership that continue to define his approach to business today. As a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, Ken is dedicated to making Ocean State Diamond Co. a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone. His mission is simple: to create beautiful jewelry and genuine connections, built on trust, respect, and authenticity.

Ken’s vision for Ocean State Diamond Co. is rooted in his belief that everyone deserves to celebrate who they are and who they love — with pieces as unique and meaningful as their stories.
