About Balboni Custom Jeweler, LLC

Dan Balboni:  I began my career in 1990 in wholesale jewelry and soon moved into retail jewelry.  I have worked mostly for independent jewelers in various levels of retail.  I opened Balboni Custom Jeweler, LLC on June 1, 2003.  My credentials are as follows:  

• GIA Graduate Gemologist - graduated from the Gemological Institute of America in 1994.

• Personal Property Appraiser (applied to gemstones and jewelry) - completed all of the core courses as well as advanced courses in 1995 from the International Society of Appraisers.

​

I am a native of Newington, CT.  I decided to locate my business here because of the people of this community as well as the surrounding communities.  My business philosophy is simple - to treat customers as I would like to be treated, as a friend and to give them real value for their money.

My business has been built on word of mouth and as you know, that is something money can't buy.  I attribute my success to my personal involvement in this community as well as the surrounding communities.  My involvement extends to:

• The Newington Chamber of Commerce - as a member and past member of the Board of Directors. 

• The New Britain Chamber of Commerce - as a member and past member of the Board of Directors. 

• The West Hartford Chamber of Commerce - as a member.

​

I believe you have to give before you get.  It is the giving that leaves me with the greatest feelings of pride and accomplishment.  It's all about making people smile. 

​

I specialize in custom jewelry design.  I work by appointment at my office in Newington, Connecticut.  The jewelry of your desire can be made from your own design or from a picture or drawing.  You may work with me in person or upload your information to my website.  The choice is yours.  You may also schedule appointments for:

​

​

Also available from my website, I have Quick Shops where you can customize hundreds of pieces of existing jewelry to express your own individual style.  There is also a shopping area for ready made jewelry, a complete Bridal, Loose Diamond & Gemstone Showcase.  Whatever you are looking for, we have it or we can make it for you.

"We strive to make your shopping experience a pleasant one.  Thank you for shopping with us and please, tell your friends about us".

​

Wishing you all the best,
