Reviews
The galleries were amazing and every display was themed with the most beautiful jewelry displayed inside. We went in on a whim and spent over an hour inside enjoying the designs and gems. We also had a lovely chat with the resident artist upstairs who showed us how she makes her own pieces. Highly recommended if you…
