Antiquariat

The owner of this store made me feel like a criminal as I browsed his rings, telling me to only take out one at a time and staring at me until I put the second of two rings I was holding back onto the shelf. His jewelry is stunning (albeit overpriced), but I do not recommend visiting this shop unless you are looking for painfully unpleasant interactions with a crotchety man.

Owner accused me of stealing within two minutes of walking inside. Left crying. Never going back.
I was born & raised in Boulder, have been shopping, window-​shopping & people-​watching on Pearl since before I was born. Have tried on rings & jewelry at all ages at all stages in my life at all the cute local antique, hippie & Tibetan shops here — never been accused of stealing until this.
Sunday Christmas shopping for the family, walked in this tiny store that’s been here forever. Boyfriend asked if they had bolo ties & I went straight for the jewelry — tried on a ring, put it back, tried on another ring — owner stands up, starts gesturing frantically & yelling at me – I can’t understand why but he’s yelling, rushes over & points at the ring display demanding «WHERE» and starts eyeballing my shopping bag, purse, and my hands — I say «I didn’t steal anything», boyfriend comes over, I start crying, owner, big short dude older guy with thick accent, yelling at us breaks something as I leave shaking shocked and in tears. I’m just glad we were leaving as he broke it so he couldn’t accuse us of breaking it.
Never had anything like this happen to me on lovely Pearl in my lovely hometown.
Never ever ever going back, worst shopping experience of my life.

Great little gem of a shop with tons of jewelry and unique finds. The owner is supremely knowledgeable and seems to know the history of every piece in the store. Would definitely come back here again.

Sweet guy that runs this store. He’s very helpful and knowledgable. Lots of great pieces. I could spend all day in here. I bought a gorgeous moonstone ring and matching earrings. Everything is all mixed together but that’s what makes it fun: the hunt! He can also resize for you if needed.
