Lovely store on the Strand. Well curated gift shop with unique items. Jewelry, purses, puzzles, things for the home-lots to see. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. read more

Love this store! They have beautiful gift items, home decor and accessories. Everyone is so nice and attentive.

For decor, for gifts (for yourself or others!), for even just fun window/walk-around shopping... you can't go wrong with this store. They have the best selection of nautical items from home decor to puzzles, from jewelry to bath & body goods. It's always a must-stop on my list when I'm on the Strand. read more

This is my favorite place to visit while on The Strand. I absolutely love the ambiance of this place, and all the decor they offer. Everything is presented so well, and I am a huge fan of the art they display. I have actually purchased not one, but 2 sea turtle paintings. I have also bought their signature scent in both a room spray and wax melt. It is amazing! Staff here are always nice, and are willing to help. They have even walked me back to the gallery room a couple of times. This last time, they even helped me with ideas of how to desperate my space with the painting I wanted. They also could have easily sold me the more expensive painting, but with consideration to the space I drew out, supported me buying the smaller option hanging in the shop. Parking is difficult, but there is a small lot beside the shop. It is $20 to park there, so if you are able to find alternative parking, I would recommend it. However, if disabled or looking to make a big purchase, the adjacent lot would be a great option. We will be going back again, as we do every time we visit the island. read more

Nice store when looking for fun jewelry and gifts. Many beach or sea themed to match the area. Staff very nice, helpful if you need something. Plenty of decor items as well. read more

The Admiralty - Inside Store - Jewelry Near Me - Galveston, Texas

I stop in and make a purchase EVERY time I'm in Galveston! I usually will stock up on Christmas gifts for my mom and sisters ... and one for me, too! So many of the stores have the same stuff on the Strand...this store is unique. Check it out!! read more

My mom and I were shopping before the holidays and went to this store. My mom was looking at some purses that she liked and an associate told us they donate their proceeds to a charity. While we were quite obviously picking out which one we wanted, the owner came by and said "I would appreciate it if you bought in our store instead of online" in a very rude tone. And then continued to turn to someone else and say condescendingly, "it's a wonder anyone shops locally anymore" We were quite obviously shopping locally but like to be educated about the brands we are buying into. My mom was looking up whether or not the purse was leather/for charity and have every right to look that up before purchasing. For all she knows my mom could have been texting someone. To be treated that way because she was on her phone was terrible and I was shocked at the invasion of privacy from the owner. We will be purchasing the purse from a different local vendor. read more

Most unique and classy items on the Strand. Great selection of sea turtle gifts for my daughter who collects sea turtle items. She is a Sea Aggie and has lived in Alaska for over 20 years. Always fun to find new things! Bought my 2nd pair of Blue Plant sunglasses!! Good to know when you buy a pair, a pair of corrective glasses is donated to someone in need. Eco friendly, too. Great customer service.....thank you Nicole. read more

Need a fancy museum quality ship model? they got 'em. Need beach chic pillows for your couch? they got 'em. Need marine themed 550 piece puzzles for 16 bucks for a kid you forgot to buy a gift for? They have that too. and fancy 50 dollar lapel pins for Grandma. I however bought none of these things. I got a blue glass starfish for my cobalt blue glass collection for 10 bucks. Hey its no weirder than the blue glass pineapple or the blue glass easter bunny so it has friends. In short, a good place to find an out of the ordinary gift for the hard to shop for people in your life. read more

Seriously, back off your clientele a little. It felt like my wife and I walked into a used car dealership. We gave you more than four attempts over two days while we were staying on the Strand. The staff smothers you the entire time you're looking around. It drove us out each time. We spent our money elsewhere and suggest other do as well. There's a huge difference between politely welcoming customers and just smothering them with too much attention. Too many friendly stores around to give this one out money read more

I love this store and always visit when in Galveston. Beautiful art and gifts and great customer service. A must stop when visiting the beautiful Strand in Galveston read more

Despite the current events, regarding the "shelter in place" etc., I have a need, and thought I would call The Admiralty. Bada Bing, Ms Leslie responded to my request, and was able to meet my needs......in spite of what we are experiencing. Great Service! Wins every day! Thanks Laz read more

I have bought several gifts from this store in the past and recently purchased a fossilized sand dollar bracelet for myself. I love it and wear it almost every day. Although this store has super cute items, this review is actually about the customer service. My bracelet broke and I was really upset about it because I had my eye on it for a long time. I had it for about a week and I think it got caught on something while I was wearing it and the metal bent enough for it to break. I took it back to the store and they said they would contact the jeweler that made it and see if he could fix it. I took the bracelet home waiting for a response and they called me about a week later and informed me that the jeweler would make another and we could exchange the new one for the broken one. I really appreciated the effort that the admiralty put forth into satisfying me, the customer, and I will continue to purchase beautiful things from this store. read more

Very COOL store!! We visited this store while cruising The Strand. The employees were very nice and the store had very neat "beachy" items! I thought they were priced well as most places do a very high upcharge. We purchased a heavy mermaid bottle opener (6.99 or 9.99 can't remember) and a cool bracelet (5.99) We will definitely return to this shop! read more

I found the perfect gift for my wife at this store. Originally went in because of the 10% check-in special. Love the way all of their items are displayed. The employees were very helpful and gift wrapped. I highly recommend that you visit. read more

I'm a longtime customer. I made a special trip to go there & got kicked out for not wearing a mask. Take your business elsewhere where they aren't rude sticklers about masks. COVID has been going on over a year. Get a grip! Horrible customer service. read more

Not only is this a fun place to shop, with beautiful wares, but my experience with customer service was excellent. I had a slight issue with my purchase and they were friendly, efficient and helpful with getting my problem solved! I will be back to shop again next time I'm in town! :) read more

Love the atmosphere of the store. The owner and staff are extremely nice and very sociable. The store was busy when we went in but the owner still made sure to take her time with everyone including us while we were there. read more

One of my favorite shops to visit when we're in Galveston. Love the butterflies, children items and unique home decor.

I LOVE THIS STORE! Such cute merchandise, collectibles, décor and apparel. Every time I walk in, I am greeted by friendly staff that are more than happy to help customers with questions. This is the perfect place to find coastal/ island items. I have found so many cute gifts for friends and family members here. I stop by the Admiralty every time I shop on the Strand! 10/10!!! read more

Love, love, love this place. We stop in every time we're on the Strand. It's hard to say what is our favorite reason: amazing jigsaw puzzles; home decor; scented candles and sprays; games; books; jewelry.... I can't choose! read more

Probably my favorite store downtown. We always find something unique and cool for the house. Try to check out their marine model ship gallery across the hall! read more

Very cute store!! Lots of fun unique gifts. Unfortunately our first experience was unpleasant. We walked in because we were attracted to a tree sock display in the front entrance (crazy socks are the rage!). As soon as we approached it a sales women (long silver hair) rudely raised her voice and told us not to touch the display and there were more in the back. It was quite shocking considering they were hanging socks, not breakable, and could be easily replaced with another pair. I apologized and went into the store. As I looked around I saw the same lady act in the same rude way to two other customers who touched the sock display. I realized it wasn't just me, everyone wanted to check out the socks. I ended up leaving without purchasing anything due to my treatment. Employees should make customers feel welcome, I did not. read more

Admiralty is a great place to find a nautical-themed gift or Galveston souvenir that isn't cheesy or tacky. I especially like the jewelry. They also have a lot of pretty little decorative items--things to use as paperweights or put on a display shelf. The store itself is really beautiful and is in a fantastic building that is worth taking a quick look around. Prices are a little high, but no more so than any other shop on the Strand; it's the nature of the beast. read more

For modern shoppers wanting an ocean chic vibe, this is one of the main shoppes to see on The Strand. It has a variety of wares, most of which has an ocean-theme and ranges in prices from small gifts on a budget to more expensive pieces and art that can run you several hundreds of dollars. If you are in the market to decorate with a modern clean look, they have several pieces for generic decor as well as kitchen items as well as pieces that will go more toward men's tastes such as compasses and barometers. They also have a kids' section with stuffed animals and games and a jewelry counter. I highly recommend this shop to visitors walking The Strand. read more

Fun to shop in. Clean and the staff are polite and knowledgeable. Got nice thank you gifts for Family members. Enjoyed!!

Beautiful shop! The items are very well made. Great quality. We bought two signs that we cannot wait to put in our apartment and give to our father-in-law. It is a little pricey, but worth the cost if you are looking for items that are higher quality and not just cheap touristy type items! I would have bought more stuff if I had the money! Beautiful! read more

Probably the best store I've visited in Galveston, for so many different reasons! Spectacularly merchandised with amazing displays of blues, greens, and whites. It feels so refreshing to step inside this store, especially after so many stores full of t-shirts and crap from China. I could spend a fortune here. I love the home decor. So many beautiful lamps, glass pieces, plates, cloth napkins and knick knacks you can't put down. Great kids stuff and my husband really say, "Surrender Your Booty" with a Joly Roger skull and cross bones. Just go! read more

Best store on the Island! Truly they have an amazing buyer! The most unique and quality products I've ever seen in a retail store!

Lots of fun home decor! Wish I had more minutes bey to spend in this store but maybe next time.

Admirality is the best shop we found on the strand! They have a different variety of beach themed items different from the usual tourist claptrap. Their candles are amazing and I'm going back for more. They are also very helpful without following you around all over, looking as if you're a suspected shop lifter. The prices are very reasonable too. read more

I live in Austin and have been coming to The Admiralty every time we come to Galveston on vacation. I always buy the same thing and a lot of it. Having said that I have just had the most ridiculously inappropriate customer service experience ever. I literally walked and made my purchase in under 5 minutes and Chloe, the person ringing me up, couldn't keep it together long enough to make it a pleasant experience. She charged me for something I did not want to purchase and proceeded to give me attitude when I pointed out the error. This was her error, not mine. She was condescending and unapologetic while refunding me my money. I don't usually leave Yelp reviews but this experience warranted one. read more

My favorite shop on the strand. Always clean and polite customer service. Love when Christmas time is near they have great Christmas cards. Kids section is awesome as well. read more
