looking for non-chain local, independent jewelry store
That wedding ring I posted about a few weeks ago? Still missing.
It's physically nothing unique to replace and I expect that there's a catalog of mass-produced rings from which we can very easily identify what my ring was and get a matching one in the same size. When we bought it, we got both rings from Kitty Haas (who in addition to her cool artsy silver stuff used to special-order simple wedding bands in gold and/or platinum) and the rings thus came with a good feeling and a good conversation with Kitty and quite the opposite of the mall stores I really dislike the vibe of.
I know of local jewelery artists like Jade Moran and Daniel Spirer, but what about a basic jewelry store for NON-artsy jewelry? It seems silly to get a handcrafted ring that is copying the simplest-of-simple band that I had and my husband still has.
