Need advice for a great earring store in San Fran. Not super expensive gold/silver, traditional jewelry store. Like interesting, funky, colorful. $50ish price range. If you are familiar with Rumours in New Orleans-something like that. I like "Barb wire," "Leni Singerman & Terry Post,"--used to buy lots of TKOs but they seem to have gone out of business.
Thanks.

i was thinking harry mason too but couldn't think of the name. really different nice earrings at good price. i lost one of the kind that wind through your ear one time and called them and they sent me a new one for no charge! my kind of store! i've been to the one at pier 39 and don't know it there's another

thanks djkbooks and toncasmo.

I'm sorry that I can't tell you the names of these stores, I only know them by sight. There are two unique earring stores in Noe Valley, I go there all the time. They're both very small, but make good use of space. They get new stuff in all the time--I went once and was disappointed, but the next time I went I found lots of stuff.

Usually collectors go to street fairs for those. Are you visiting? Look up fairs and festivals on sfgate.com

oh yeah- i also saw alot of really interesting earrings at the craft fair directly across from the ferry building. we were there on weekend, i don't know what days it goes on

MelissaHi:
Thanks. Can you give me anything more in terms of where in Noe Valley?

FainaAgain:
Yes, I will be visiting this weekend. thanks for the tip to look for fairs.

Hi Bat, the Noe Valley shopping area is just one street and it's actually not that long. One earring place is on the right, the other is up the hill and to the left. Dang, I can see it in my head!! But seriously....you can walk the shopping area pretty quickly with lots of time to spare so you can explore Union Street or Hayes. The bus goes straight up there, too.

Thanks Melissa
