According to the website, "Chariots on Fire is place to discover special objects of design made to…read morebe enjoyed and coveted for the ideas they hold and the beauty they represent." In other words, a lot of cool stuff that's hard to categorize as being together under one roof, but all well-worth browsing. It's a different shop than most in the area because it's smaller and often the owner/manager is basically just sitting at his desk working or tinkering. I know some ceramics and jewelry caught the eye of my wife and I was especially interested in a sort of space-age looking stereo receiver in the front window. It was incredibly expensive at many thousands of dollars. Hey, a boy can dream. They also have featured artists on a monthly basis with unique works you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Come in just to find something totally unique.

The Best Gift Shop on Abbot Kinney…read more Chariots on Fire is a small store that carries hard to find jewelry, pottery, and unique fragrances, and contemporary ceramics. They have a unique selection of goods that you cannot find anywhere. I do a lot of poetry and visual art, and coming in here almost felt like walking into a modern museum. Every piece of jewelry, home décor or unconventional flower pots seems to have a message that reaches out to you once you catch a second glance. It's not as if you are buying home goods and decorations, but every piece in this store has a story to tell. There is that old saying " You should seek to understand, and then be understood", but at this store its almost a liaison between you and your sense of style. When you buy a piece at Chariots on Fire and place it in your house, people will see it and try understand its meaning; but ultimately they will understand you. Very few stores have had the ability to do this with the merchandise they carry. Chariots on Fire is truly one of the best hidden gems on Abbot Kinney in Venice!

I had gone to the Mejuri store at The Americana in December 2025 since they were doing free…read morepiercings. You had to buy their earrings which were $100+ per stud. That location has temporarily closed down their piercing studio and the only one with a piercing professional was this Venice location. They have a post-piercing follow-up service to change out the post to a shorter one 6-8 weeks after you had your piercing. Parking - OMG. Impossible as it's street parking. Give yourself 30-40 mins minimum to find a spot!! Store - it's located at the edge of the main Abbott Kinney rows of stores. Clean, bright, lots of employees helping customers. It's Valentine's Day so it's busy busy! Piercing Studio - Marley was FANTASTIC! I was late to my appt by an hour - traffic horrific & parking horrendous. However, Marley gave up her lunch break to accommodate me. She explained clearly what she was going to do at this follow-up. It was to replace the flat back to a shorter one since it's healing well. It took less than 3 mins & no pain or tugging. Marley told me The Americana location is hiring a new piercing professional & Piercing Studio will reopen ver soon! Overall, I would recommend any Mejuri location as customer service is top notch! Their jewelry is modern & has clean, crisp look to them. Not that affordable but they do have some pieces that even I can afford. LOL!

Just had the most fabulous experience shopping with Christian at Mejuri. He was so attentive and…read morehelpful. He was able to help with 2 exchanges in the most seamless, easy way. And while we were waiting for the exchange to go through he assisted with another new purchase. He had great insight, and wonderful energy. And on top of everything else he was super sweet to our little guy, Joey. Would recommend shopping with him anytime! Thanks Christian!

I have been wanting to get more permanent jewelry with each of my best friends, and this was a…read moreperfect opportunity! My best friend lives in Venice and often walks down Abbott Kinney Boulevard and mentioned seeing a pop-up for permanent jewelry almost every week. We were lucky enough to find Diana's shop set up outside at 6:30 PM when many other shops were already closing. She mentioned this is becoming a permanent storefront soon and that she plans to still utilize the outdoor space to attract foot traffic and set up outside as well. She was such a gem - clearly, very knowledgeable about her craft, and so friendly. There were five times the number of chain options than any other place I've ever seen do permanent jewelry, with reasonable prices ranging from about $50-$90 for a bracelet, depending on the thickness and quality you choose. She even gave us 10% off because we got three. We loved talking to her, she's a local and has so much personality and is such a sweetheart. I love to support small businesses and highly recommend Devada for all your permanent jewelry needs!

They have a TON more jewelry options than any permanent jewelry booth I have seen or been to before which I loved - great variety and selections. The lady working was super friendly, quick, and efficient in her work. The price point was the same I have seen for my past two permanent bracelets and I was really happy with the experience overall.

Today, I happen to have checked in later here at the Ritz Carlton Marina Del Rey and this shop was open. The shop is on the corridor as you walk from the main lobby and out towards the pool/gazebo area. On the display case, a golden south seas pearl ring, that caught my eye and lured me inside. I was greeted by the owner Steven Jackson and he was cordial and showed me that gorgeous ring and other fabulous jewelry I Love Love Love. Jewelry for men, women and whatever your inclination, diamonds, platinum, gold, gems and peals...oooh la la. I was dazzled with the unique collections and was shocked to learn the prices were so much less $$$$ than the jewelry shops in Beverly Hills (Mikimoto, Cartier, Van Clefs, Tiffany, DeBeers) to name a few. Mr Jackson was knowledgeable about diamonds and pearls and gave me some pointers on what would be complimentary on my hand...he said, based on the degree of measurement/distance from certain fingers and joints, 'a large diamond/pearl, on a large setting would look fabulous on me,' Ha! He is a very smart man ;) as I prefer double digit karats ;)

Roselle went above and beyond taking so much time to work with me to create the perfect diamond clarity and cut. She was incredibly patient, listened to every idea I had, and truly worked with me as a team to bring my vision to life. The end result is a ring more beautiful than I ever imagined. Clark also went above and beyond to find the exact diamonds needed for my wedding band, and I am so grateful for his dedication and care. Roselle, Clark, Zach and the entire Claydon team are knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about what they do. I've been going to Claydon Jewelers for years, and whether you're getting jewelry repaired or creating something custom, you will not regret it. They truly make your dreams come true. I will never be able to thank Claydon Jewelers enough for creating the ring I will wear for the rest of my life. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!
