Astro Gallery of Gems

This store is full of stunningly unusual specimens that make for excellent bookends and table adornments—chunky rock crystals, fossilized six-inch-long shark teeth, and slabs of petrified wood. There are loads of lovely things to wear, too, like strands of carnelian stones and rare Indian turquoise beads, oversize moonstone rings, and bracelets flecked with chunks of amber.

Barneys New York

Though highly-regarded as the ultimate department store, they always take a chance on emerging labels, often before even the smallest boutiques do. Its Co-op area—our favorite—focuses on young designers.
