Fine Jewelry & Watch Sales Professional - Springer's Since 2021
I began my career in jewelry in 2012, and I have been in the industry ever since. My particular passion is estate jewelry and colored gemstones. There is nothing more exciting to me than taking an older sentimental item of jewelry and repurposing it into something new giving the piece a new lease on life! I am a Maine native, and look forward to helping my community and beyond discover their new favorite item of jewelry.
Fine Jewelry & Watch Sales Professional - Springer's Since 2011
A life long lover of jewelry, my passion started early on and led me to Maine, where I came to study Jewelry at Maine college of Art. After school I had the opportunity to work as an apprentice and bench jeweler under local artists until I made my way to Springer's. Since arriving here my passion for the unique and vintage has grown extensively. I can typically be found in close proximity to our estate collection photographing and researching our newest pieces. Outside of work I spend my time enjoying the Portland food scene and the islands of Casco Bay.

Fine Jewelry & Watch Sales Professional, Applied Jewelry Professional (GIA) - Springer's Since 2012
I have been working in the jewelry business for almost 2 decades. I've worked in sales, management, wholesale, and I've traveled all across North America doing design events with different jewelry companies. I have a love for helping couples find the perfect piece of jewelry, with a focus on engagement and bridal. Hearts on Fire is my favorite brand that we carry at Springer's. It's all about the sparkle!
Fine Jewelry & Watch Sales Professional - Springer's Since 2014
What I love about jewelry is that it has a story. It has the power to remind you of a specific person or moment in time, all while communicating your identity to the world. Jewelry creates a connection between people because it can quickly segue strangers into a meaningful conversation. I also love the process of designing and creating jewelry, especially when I have a chance to help breathe new life into heirloom pieces, turning them from something dated to something unique and modern that you can truly enjoy. In my spare time I run my own jewelry studio where I design and create contemporary art jewelry, chasing around my tornado of a toddler, and of course hanging out with my high school sweetheart and best friend of a hubby.

Fine Jewelry & Watch Sales Professional - Springer's Since 2022
I currently live in Scarborough, Maine, where I grew up. My family has lived in Pine Point, Scarborough for many generations, so naturally the beach is one of my favorite places to be during the spring andsummer. While I do love traveling, I’m a New England girl for life. I enjoy the different seasons, the convenience of having mountains and beaches, the food and the people! I have a background in customer service and I look forward to being apart of our client's special occasions.

Store Manager - Springer's Since 2016
There is something magical about being able to help clients choose the ultimate gift. During my first communion I remember receiving my very own first gift, a ruby ring. It sits in my jewelry box and brings me back to that exact moment. Every piece of jewelry has a story. Hi, my name is Kelly. Come in and say hi, let us help you write your story.

Client Services Coordinator - Springer's Since 2021
Though born in Boston, I grew up here in Portland and consider myself a true Mainer. I studied mechanical engineering at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, received my BS in business at USM, and MBA from New Hampshire college, collecting and trading watches all the while. I recall first being described as “obsessed“ with watches in my early 20s, and that passion only grew. I joined collecting organizations and began to hone repair and refinishing skills. Eventually, I came to work at Portland's Swiss Time, learning under the tutelage of the much-loved founder and patriarch, Claude Guyot. Today, my interest in watch types runs the gamut; “golden era” American deco pieces, eccentric ‘50s, tool watches from the ‘60s, and modern marvels, all fascinate. Away from the bench, I enjoy skiing, SCUBA and travel (often seeking out the local watch shops!). Closer to home, enthusiastic conversation with fellow watch fans is a frequent and favorite activity. I’m thrilled to be working with such a customer-focused organization and am eager to help with any and all of your watch needs.

Repair Coordinator - Springer's Since 2021
When I moved to Portland from Chicago, I was looking to find a workplace that would allow me to marry my laboratory and retail skills into a meaningful role. I hit the jackpot with Springer's! I have always appreciated finely-made pieces of jewelry, and now I have the pleasure of working with the incredibly talented and kind people that create these beautiful items every day! Though new to the industry, I've already learned so much here, and can't wait to see what the future holds.
Jeweler - Springer's Since 2018
I come from the country of my parents and ancestors, the Democratic Republic of Congo, but was born in Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi. I owned and managed a jewelry store in Bujumbura and educated two jeweler’s apprentices during this time. I left my country and set my sights on the USA because of the war and the killings in Burundi and the DR Congo. I am an Artist in Residence at MECA, where I develop and fabricate new jewelry designs and work in a friendly and intimate environment among students and faculty. I love my job of jewelry and have a passion for creating art out of rough gemstones.
Watch Service Manager - Springer's Since 2011
I've been in the jewelry industry since age 16 and now have over 30 years of experience. I started out in a jewelry store sweeping floors and progressed to working in customer service, watch repair and engraving. I joined the Springer's Jewelers team in 2011 as the Watch Service Manager. I enjoy seeing all the unique and interesting watches that come through to be repaired.

Watchmaker - Springer's Since 2023
Born into the watch industry I learned how to fix my first watch at 5 under the guidance of my parents, Jill & Claude Guyot, owners and operators of Swiss Time. My passion for watches grew as I worked at Swiss Time until its closure in December 2022. I joined the Springers team in March of 2023 and am excited for the opportunity to keep my head down at my watchmaker’s bench and focus on repairing watches. My passion lies in vintage watches with a fondness for pocket watches, but I appreciate all aspects of modern and vintage watches. I hope to be able to keep our customers on time. Outside of work I spend my time adventuring with my son, Hunter and working in our apple orchard and gardens.
