So you're ring shopping and he's a little bit country and she's a little bit rock 'n' roll, meaning that one of you is steeped in the whole "gold ring with a solitaire diamond" tradition and the other is looking for something a bit more edgy. No problem here. In addition to a handsome collection of estate jewelry — antique platinum filigree rings are popular — Farrell creates a line of lightweight titanium bands in whatever forms you can dream up (he also works in gold and platinum). And just because it's stately and elegant inside, don't let that scare you if you're on a tight budget: Stock gold bands start at about $60.

Even if you're not the marrying kind, there are plenty of other things to buy, including pearls, costume jewelry, art glass and ceramics, textiles and silver baby rattles.

TIP: There are no big sales here, but regular customers are rewarded with discounts on larger purchases.
