THE STORY: Snow Findings Co. had humble beginnings when William Snow founded the company in the early 1950s inside his garage at his home in Cranston. The family-owned jewelry metal manufacturer quickly expanded, and the company’s products and services are sold in wholesale quantities to national jewelry brands and manufacturers.

COVID-BORN: Demand for jewelry items dropped significantly, hitting zero for a few months, during the COVID-19 pandemic. As an alternative, Snow Findings Co. began making “MasKords,” lanyards that allow a user’s mask to hang around on their neck when not in use, remain clean and pull up quickly when needed. The cords also help children in school in taking masks on and off throughout the day. Jewelry production, after the brief slowdown, has since resumed.
