Queen May

Set on Cape May's Washington Street Mall, Queen May is a jewelry shop built on its own love story. Owners Amanda and Daniel — both TCNJ grads and first-generation, self-made jewelers — started dating, went into business together, and chose Cape May because it was where they spent their date nights. They bought their current storefront in 2018 and have been outfitting South Jersey couples ever since.

Their bridal collection covers every direction a proposal can go: natural diamond, lab-grown, and true vintage and estate engagement rings, plus wedding bands for her and for him. Beyond the rings, the shop is a one-stop for the rest of the day — diamond studs and drop earrings for the bride, luxury and pre-owned watches from Rolex to Cartier for the groom, and fine jewelry gifts for the wedding party at a range of price points. For couples chasing "something old," the estate cases are worth the trip alone.

Whether you're planning a Cape May wedding or driving down for the ring, Queen May pairs serious inventory with the kind of personal attention only owners behind the counter can give.
