    Velvet da Vinci

    You can actually see the ideas behind these handcrafted gems: Lynn Christiansen puts her food obsessions into a purse that looks like whipped cream, and Enric Majoral's Mediterranean meditations yield rings that appear to be made of sand. Shows here reveal brilliance behind the baubles; during the Ethical Metalsmiths' 'Radical Jewelry Makeover,' the public was invited to bring broken trinkets to be recycled into new jewelry, with sales supporting a campaign for responsible sourcing practices.

    Twentieth Century Ltd

    Not just jewelry, but vintage jewelry, especially Bakelite, silver and art-deco designs... costume jewelry made by the great designers of yesteryear. The selection is overwhelming, with something to fit every­body’s price range (eg the $10 bin for the budget-conscious). This is where to come, princess, if you need a tiara for that upcoming ball.

    Harry Winston

    The priciest store on Rodeo may be the happiest to see you. After a recent move to brighter, more accessible digs, the famed diamond purveyor replaced its formal counters with small islands to improve pedestrian flow. Silk velvet and silver leaf adorn the soaring walls, complementing the still-stunning array of sparkling baubles.
