Best places: Handicrafts in United States

🫤 Update: I feel compelled to update my review when I learned at the end of my experience that their employees all work for tips, meaning they are paid less than minimum wage! The girls who assisted us were very helpful and their skill and service deserves more than minimum, let alone below minimum. T...

👍👍 Gem Studio is amazing! We had the best time creating our own jewelry. Not only did Parker walk us through everything, he explained all of our options, let us get creative, and took time to really teach us. I have a whole new appreciation for jewelers and silver smiths. The options are unlimited, the...

Established locale selling engagement rings, wedding bands & other jewelry, plus watches & gifts.

😠 Went two times. First time was super rushed, and the person helping us did most of the work for us. What was supposed to be a 3 hour appointment turned into 1 hour. The ring turned out great though! Thought we would try it again, and big mistake. They overbooked for the time slot, so the person help...

😠 Terrible experience. You sit there for 3+ hours on a wooden box, as they try to create a very basic piece. You choose the type of setting and stone you want from a premade list but there is a very low chance that it can be created. Blow torches are being used and scraps of metal are being cut but th...

👍👍 I am absolutely obsessed with my ring I made here! The workers are so genuine, kind, and friendly. Summer helped me and was an amazing teacher through the whole process! I’ll definitely be back and booking a workshop with her again!

This weekly market in a park features wares by 200+ local artisans, plus food vendors & live music.

Charming, long-standing store featuring jewelry, art & home accents by many artists & craftspeople.

👍👍 Very lovely shop on The Hill featuring quality soaps and essential oils. Because I live 3 hours away I mostly order online BUT I come to STL several time a year and always stop in for replenishment of oils, soaps and goodies. My favorite are their essential oils like Patchouli, Lavender, Basil and O...

👍👍 I'm fairly new to Austin, but I must say this salon is definitely the place to be if you wanna have your nails done! Came in the other day to get my pedicure, and they were able to accommodate me even when it was close to closing time. Was so impressed I came back 2 days later for my manicure. Jenny...

Bookshop offering New Age titles, crystals, incense, candles & gifts, plus yoga supplies & classes.

👍👍 Very beautiful and reasonably priced handmade jewelry. Better than some I’ve see. The woman who runs the store was very polite and helpful. Of all the “trading posts” and “souvenir shops” this is the one I would stop at. They have many unique items and offer a piece of free petrified wood. Also, hav...

Locally-owned boutique carrying colorful, bohemian-inspired women's apparel, crafts & gifts.

Modern, daytime counter serve providing artisanal, organic bagels in a minimalist, brick interior.

👍👍 Absolutely lovely. The owner is so helpful, patient, and kind. She knows so much, and she is so gentle as she shares that knowledge. Unreal service, out of this world kindness, and not to mention a big selection! She, and her charming friend, helped me to get exactly what I needed for an amazing pri...

👍👍 It was fun. I love that place. I have gone there several times throughout the years. So I am not new to it. But my care provider for my independent living skills training, she is originally from Southern California and so I introduced her to the store. We didn't have a chance to go through the whole...

👍👍 Man, this place rocks! (pun intended). I was so excited to visit this place. They have so many awesome finds (they're the only place I could find that had rough Boulder Opals at a pretty stellar price) and their prices are great, especially for being in TC! I'll definitely be stopping by asap again!
