We absolutely will be using Brilliant Earth for our future jewelry needs.

I'm…read moreconstantly impressed by how much value I can get for my money and the huge selection of gemstones from which I can choose to customize a piece. I've bought a diamond solitaire necklace that I customized and a sapphire ring. The sapphire is a Montana bi-color and it is the coolest gemstone I have ever seen. It presents as at least three different colors depending on the angle and lighting. It is mesmerizing and completely unique. I'm consistently impressed with the customer service. When I buy on the website I always pick up in the store and the salespeople are friendly and helpful. I always recommend brilliant earth to friends and family! I really appreciate lab created diamonds both for the value and the ethical peace.

Locally sourced, hand-picked crystals & crystal necklaces, tie-dye clothing & masks - so much incredible artisanal amazingness! Even CBD bath bombs & soap for extra relaxation. It will be a real practice this gift-giving season to actually be able to part with any of the amazing products I purchase... we'll see!! I felt totally at home & inspired by the combination of rock n roll/earthy/artsy vibes the showroom exudes! For lack of a better word, it is just so COOL in there with a big claw foot steel bathtub in the entry filled with super creatively named & fragranced bath bombs, cool music playing & beautiful smells coming from the awesome staff in the back creating these gorgeous, one-of-a-kind products (comparable to LUSH, but with cleaner ingredients from what I understand & much more interesting, beautiful flavors!!) Side note: herbalist on staff! These products are more than just great smells, their healing power is totally legit. I esp love the "Magic Neem" bar soap for my fickle face skin. It's gentle & doesn't strip my face's natural oils. So great! Thank you!!! Xo!

I just find the prices for band tees to be a bit too high even for vintage. The jewelry selection is beautiful. I have a lovely ring from there that was about $40 and in my opinion worth the money.

Bowood Farms is my go-to for almost all things plants. Is it because I'm a sucker for the…read moreaesthetics? Maybe. Does it help that it's walking distance from home? Perhaps. Regardless, I appreciate that they have a great selection of plants, and I particularly love shopping their small plants selection. They have a pretty solid batch of what's in season for a more affordable price, and I've had much better luck raising them as opposed to their bigger plants. The staff is knowledgeable and efficient. They also have workshops and plenty of supplies, so it's a nice one-stop shop (and I'm trying to keep this review separate from their restaurant). Their pots selection is also generally good, although they can be just as seasonal as the plants. Overall, I recommend checking out Bowood Farms, if not just for the nice little stroll.

The store is well designed, organized so that it's easy to wander through and brightly lit to show off all the bling. It's also staffed by the friendliest people. I've never really had such a pleasant retail experience to be honest. I've purchased items here and at Plaza Frontenac, and it's consistently the same -- the staff love what they do and are extremely helpful. The jewelry is beautiful too! So it's easy to get a long, very long, wish list for yourself or for the special someones in your life. Be prepared to fall in love. But it's also easy to love this company, because they have a big corporate heart. I spoke with their philanthropic staff lead who plans their community events. Did you know you can organize an in-store party or have them come to an event and get 20% of proceeds for your charity? They also donate to a lot of community non-profits (my organization is one of those)! You gotta love a company whose values put social corporate responsibility right up there as a priority. I do, and it often is what makes me a loyal shopper. And speaking of shopping... I really love going to Maryland Plaza -- it's usually a happy day when I can grab a cupcake, eat an amazing meal at any one of the many restaurants, people watch, soak up the upbeat energy of the area, window shop from the eclectic group of businesses, and spend a little (or a lot) with the stores...and now CWE Kendra Scott is on my list to visit again! I'll be back (probably during this holiday season (happy Christ-ma-necklace to me!) and my birthday month when they'll offer a special discount! And just because...well, because!

Coupled with an extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff....this store is amazing. A perfect addition to the neighborhood.

I recently got the chance to model some of their apparel, which was such a cool experience and made me appreciate the brand even more.

It's the kind of place where you feel special every time you visit. Whether you're shopping, grabbing a bite, or just soaking up the atmosphere, Golden Gem never disappoints. Can't wait to come back again soon!

It's not just a gift shop, it feels like a full-on brand experience built around bold, empowering, and cheeky messages. Everything from clothing to candles and accessories has that "be yourself" energy which is refreshing compared to more generic boutiques. The product selection is fun and super giftable, it feels personal and intentional which adds to the appeal. The space itself is colourful and full of personality. It's the kind of store where you end up reading everything and spending more time than you expected just browsing. Some items feel a bit pricey for what they are and once you get the vibe, the selection can start to feel a bit repetitive. Overall, it's one of the more unique shops in St Louis. Great for gifts and browsing, and definitely worth stopping by.
