5 /5 Vision Vitruvian (Anima): A lovely, impeccably organized vintage jewellery store. A real treasure trove for fashion students, stylists, and lovers of 20s to 60s (and older) rhinestone, enamel and silver jewellery.
Stock mens and womens jewellery, accessories, cufflinks, buttons- and more (see videos).
The staff were lovely, and even recommended me a secondhand gem in the neighborhood (Screaming Mimis), because I was pressed for time, and much of the stores I had researched prior to my trip were overhyped, and not great at all.
For all Europeans and Brits: this is an American store, so do not expect this to be a European or UK style antiques shop with ware from the 1700s.
Think Hollywood costume jewellery, and newer vintage, mainly 19th century, with some older pieces.
Prices are anywhere from 20 Dollars or less for some buttons up to multiple hundreds, depending on the age, quality and craftsmanship of the piece.
This store looks small, but if you go through all the drawers in search of your dream piece, you might want to spend a good while here.
P.s.: I have always been into Art Deco (kitschy or not), and they have plenty of it.
