I love this store. It's a hidden treasure off Lake St, and sort of like a jewel box on your…read moregramma's dresser, surprising you once you open it. The space is beautiful and you don't know where to look, there is so much to delight. I was particularly impressed by the owner, who didn't flinch when I asked him for a moderately priced dinosaur something for a young friend. He immediately knew what to show me...dinosaur poop, all shined up. Now, the young friend was delighted, of course, with the copralite, but even funnier was my accompanying story of the quest. Untold treasures, beautiful calm space, extremely knowledgeable owner = superb, one of a kind shop. Go!

This is a Crystal lovers dream. They have so many materials and pieces- from large tables to small…read morepieces. They have tumbles, specimens, jewelry, and so much more. They have geodes that you can buy and cut open in the back yourself! The staff is all so sweet and kind! Expect to spend at least 1hr looking at everything. I feel the prices are good. I bought a nice piece of green tourmaline that was $10 with the stand, some fun crackle quartz (dyed material), and a fun rainbow/iridescent piece (I forgot the name). They have Libyan desert glass ($10/g) and moldavite ($30/g) if you're looking for that.

They also have a variety of…read moreother items like crystals, candles, sage, artwork, etc. The decks I have purchased there generally range from $20-$25. The staff has always been friendly and helpful when I have visited. There is no parking lot available but I have found free street parking within the block.

This review had been updated…read more July 11th, 2024, I had visited this location. They had a wide variety of stones and crystals including song/singing bowls and books. The two key items purchased: I had purchased what is one of, to date, my favorite spheres that I own. I own over a dozen. (A flawless Flower Agate Sphere, I cannot express or put into words how stunning it is, truly, it is beautiful) and the second is a remarkable Moss Agate Tower and it is MASSIVE ‐ it could have it's own gravitational pull, it emits thick and healthy energy and is damn near perfect.) From my observation, all of the stones were high quality. As someone who has been in the spiritual & stone/crystals business since 2013, I can say I've had my fair dealings with stores that sell crystals and stones and I can spot a "fake shop" a mile away, this place is legit. I can say with confidence, I didn't question or have doubts about anything they had available. If you're ever in this location, visit. The owner, cares about their customers experiences. There were two people working, one welcomed when entering, however the other had more of a "I'd rather not be here" vibe - my facial expressions are subtitles so I understand lol. We are human. After hearing from the owner, it changed my mind entirely which is why I am correcting this review. They contacted me regarding my review within 24 hours. As a business owner, I respect that. When a business owner is that attentive, they don't let incidents slip. Which makes me believe I made the mistake and misunderstood. With that being said, again, if you're ever in this area, check this place out. You could very well leave with something that could be the center piece of your collection or the perfect gift for a loved one. Even if that loved one just so happens to be you and you loved it so much you couldn't leave without it.. so.... yep.... I've been that loved one a few times.

What a cool spot! I loved the decor- it's vibrant and fresh and the exposed brick adds such a nice…read moretouch. There is a little shop in the front where they sell both Aromic Polish products and other locally made items, such as felted items and jewelry. It's a perfect spot to find gifts. And the prices are beyond reasonable for small batch polishes at $10-13 a bottle: Toward the back is a nail polish bar where you can create your own custom polishes! The setup was clean and organized- you get your own tray with bottles, mixers, brushes, etc. It was such a unique and fun experience and i had an absolutely blast with my girlfriends! It felt like art class - you get to mix colors until you find the perfect shade and then add in fun sparkles if you want! Can't wait to go back and I highly recommend Atomic Polish for a future girls' night activity!

She had a STEM degree and a lot of her nail paint names are Sci-fi and chemistry derived. I was so confused when choosong nail paints because I loved soamy of them. I especially loved the one named Uranium amd H2O. The place is very cutely decorated and well ventilated. A very nice place to get nail paints or have a girls day out!

I was once a regular until this happened I hope all locations shut down,the people who work for her realize how crappy of a person their boss is and that everyone finds a better place to be don't get ripped off or scammed by this lady

Highly recommend going to classes here!!…read more I first visited for their 3rd birthday party where I made a linoleum block print. Brooke gave me a quick intro and gave me all the tips and tricks on how to carve the rubber block. Most recently I did their gemstone ring making class. The instructors Hailey and Lola were kind and very helpful. They break down the whole process and explain everything well. It was very fun and the results were great! It was worth the price and I plan to buy another class soon! They have classes from jewelry making, painting, to cookie decorating. Note - the location is a little tucked away, but they have a parking lot

I went to my second ring stacking class on a Sunday at 11am. They were also holding a cookie decorating class too. Lola helped sign me in and did an excellent job teaching the class. Nice step by step instructions with help in between. The space is industrial yet colorful and inviting. I signed up for my 3rd class while I was there and got a discount! What a nice deal. Excited to go back to make more jewelry!

Unfortunately, it wasn't that great of a time. :( All beads and supplies are behind the counter. It's awkward just standing there waiting for help. When I was finally helped by the woman working.. I realized she was kinda rude. If you are going to have beads behind the counter then you should expect to be helping people! The employees also seemed like they were bickering and it was uncomfortable to just stand there. It's not worth visiting in person.. I think just stick to ordering online if you can.

It took no time at all after finding the EC Design website to recognize their approach to jewelry fit us perfectly. It's a sheer joy to browse their workshop, where you're literally in arms length to where the art is created. Their team is friendly, accommodating, and pleasant to work with. We felt the entire process from initial inquiry to ring pick-up was full of authenticity. We're overjoyed to see our commitment reflected in these two beauties.

Being pregnant, I absolutely loved the oversized baggy loungewear. I ended up purchasing two oversized tops, an athletic dress and a beautiful overall jean dress along with some cute blue buggy baby earrings to wear at my baby shower. While known for all the handbags, don't sleep on the earrings and boutique clothing. The clothing isn't for everyone, but if you like baggy - they have what you need. Every product is color coded and the plethora of earrings could take months to observe thoroughly. While there are tons of handbags, I actually think there are far more earrings and jewelry pieces. There's a single dressing room at the back of the store. They advertise for 3 items only, although, I think they should update this policy. I followed it by hanging everything directly outside the dressing room, yet it felt pointless to reach my arm out when I was done with 3 items just to swap out for new items. I loved all the bag options. My favorite one was a pink teacup. There were bags resembling books, a Rubik's cube and so much more. Luckily today when I stopped in, everything was 20% off. I talked to the sales clerk and she mentioned that if you follow them on Facebook, they will often do last chance sale items. If you want something unique and funky, shop here!

I've been meaning to stop in here for a while after passing it so many times!…read more This is a jewel-focuses boutique with some super fun, bold and quirky pieces! They also sell boutique clothing as well. The jewelry and boutique clothing weren't quite my style, but it was fun to poke around in here before our reservation at Hazel's across the street.

WONDERFUL, BUT VERY HIDDEN…read more First of all: This is an amazing place with tons of fascinating rocks and random weird stuff at reasonable prices. Whole wall of bazillions of different kinds of gemstone beads on strands. Fossils, carved statues, cut gemstones ready for setting... the list goes on and on. 100% worth visiting again and again. Secondly: It is HARD to find, if you only know about it from the internet. Some websites list an incorrect address for it. Google Maps seems to have just started showing the correct address. Yelp has the correct address but doesn't come up on the first page of Google searches for the business name. Part of the problem is that it has moved a few times between Rosedale Mall and Har-Mar Mall. It IS still in Har-Mar Mall, as of the time I write this. The current correct address is: M'Or Designs 2100 Snelling Ave N Suite 55 Saint Paul, MN 55113 BUT! it's not visible from the outside of Har-Mar Mall. You have to take the door that goes INSIDE, and walk until you see it across the hall from David's Bridal. (It's not even listed on the map thingy inside the mall! It's like they don't want you to know where it is!) So: Go there. Absolutely. But don't trust the internet on where it is.
