The Connecticut community is already familiar with the core values of authenticity, integrity, service, gratitude, courage, trust, respect, and sterling customer service consistently delivered by Baribault Jewelers in Glastonbury, but now, the entire world is noticing the accomplishments of the 3rd-generation, family-owned jewelry company that’s currently celebrating its 75th business anniversary. Specifically, Baribault Jewelers today announced that it has won a Global Recognition Award for its impressive achievements in entrepreneurship, innovation, and corporate responsibility. The honor is bestowed to organizations that exhibit an unwavering commitment to outstanding business practices and have become the gold standard leader within their particular industry.
“Baribault Jewelers’ 75-year career has been punctuated with innovation and an undying passion for setting new standards in the industry,” said Jethro Sparks, President of Global Recognition Awards. “The company stands as a paragon in its industry, a narrative of perseverance, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality and service, and it’s a privilege to chronicle this shining moment in its history.”
Notable innovations that Baribault Jewelers has introduced since its inception in 1948 include:
- a major, modern retail renovation in which all glass jewelry showcases are strategically positioned throughout the store that allow customers 360-degree viewing potential.
- Connecticut’s largest display of D-color diamonds, the rarest and clearest diamond available in the market.
- national notoriety for the company’s The Power to B inspirational bracelet line, which debuted at the 2022 Oscars and has empowered thousands from around the globe.
- opening the B-Linked Permanent Jewelry Bar, one of the hottest jewelry trends that connects friends, family members and couples through a clasp-less 14k gold bracelet.
- adding the B Transformed department where customers can bring their unworn sentimental jewelry to the store, redesign them and create vibrant, new treasured pieces.
- introducing the exclusive "Engaged Couples Experience" where couples can navigate the journey of selecting the perfect engagement ring together and enjoy deep discounts.

"Teamwork truly makes the dream work and besides being committed to creating the ultimate shopping experience in all of our activities, our company invests in its people, employing only certified Gemological Institute of America (GIA) diamond graders and gemologists and Personal Jewelry Shoppers,” said Lewis Baribault, Jr., owner of Baribault Jewelers. “After all, we don’t merely trade in gemstones and precious metals; but rather, deal in experiences, memories, and moments that are both timeless and priceless.”
Lastly, Baribault Jewelers is at the top of its craft having earned the Blue Diamond Tacori dealer designation, the #1 highest rating in the Jewelers Board of Trade (JBT) organization and is both an exhibitor and member of the JCK Jewelry Show, the most significant and prestigious jewelry event in North America.
