Jewels of Buddha

Great family owned store. I definitelt spent more than an hour there browsing through their packed store of beautiful things from statues to incense to crystals and jewelries, wall decors. I had to control my urge to buy everything. Just an extraordinary store with lovely & very helpful people. I’ll definitely be back there since I had my eyes on a lot more items (& it helps that it’s only a few blocks from my place! … Uh ooh!).

The first time I been here was probably around the time it first opened. I bought this little bag there that I still use! I recently got into crystal healing and human energy. I remembered from the first time stopping by that they sell a variety of crystals and gems, so I came back with my mom whose also into crystals and she’s either in love or obsessed with this store. She goes every weekend to check it out .
Their customer service is AWESOME. The owner is very friendly and patient. Answers each and every question you throw at him. Very helpful and polite.
Definitely recommend to check it out if your looking for some crystals, beads, authentic Nepali goodies. Everything seems to be handmade which gives it that genuine touch to it.
Prices are fair. Customer service great. Merchandise unique. Can’t go wrong.

I absolutely love everything about this store! They have crystals, incense, singing bowls, jewelry, clothes, etc. The prices are reasonable and the guy who works there never gets tired of my questions lol. Great customer service!

I just discovered this place less than 6 mos. Ago and to my surprised it’s been in Astoria for at least 5 yrs. The owner is very knowledgable of everything and anything he sells, he is friendly and accommodating. I been buying shirts, jewelry, statues, incense etc. It might be consider a smaller scale store by some, though what’s inside is tremendous treasures of Tibetan, Nepalese, Indian items. I love and appreciates the teaching and the principles of Buddhism.

This is a precious little store in Astoria that I love dearly. It’s so cute and stocked up with all sorts of fun little things. I’ve been buying hats there for several years and they’re really well made and an excellent deal. In fact the whole store has great prices and selection. The guys running the place are really nice and helpful. I would recommend if you happen to be floating past broadway and want to find a cute gift of just a little something for yourself. It’s also nice just to look.

Walked by this never even realizing how cool it was! Dig the vibe, some of it’s pricey, and looks to be for the post divorced female 4o something eat pray love fan, but for those others who can appreciate and are seeking quality incense, nice gifts for the religious or yogiesque in your life, come here. Lovely beads, stones and jewelry. The guy at the counter was super kind, and really offered nice customer service. Wish I had more money to support this great place!

Lovely store with great service. Came across on our way to dinner and stopped in — was looking for a singing bowl and they have a diverse selection of handmade, old (previous centuries), and newly manufactured bowls. Shopkeeper explained everything to us and demonstrated how to play a bowl, and we didn’t feel pressured to buy anything at all (which I usually do in a small shop with few patrons at a time). Also great selection of stones and incense — priced much lower than a manhattan shop. Would definitely return.

What a great store! I love it… I usually have to trek to the west village for stores like this and to have it a few blocks from my house is so awesome! They have tons of great things, chakra stones, candles, pyramids, worry stones, so much different kinds of jewelry, mantra prayer sheets, Tibetan clothes and other access. Great store and the guys that own it (it’s a family) they are so wonderfully knowledgeable about everything that have in the store and if you want something and they don’t have it, they will try to get it for you. They will also make you jewelry (like bracelets) if you request it and any stone/​jewelry you buy comes with these beautiful handmade bags. Great store, great products. Def recommend.

You’ll find stores like these scattered around Manhattan, but rarely in the outer boroughs. Very pretty merchandise for various Buddhist/​New Age needs.

What a great place! I’ve lived in Astoria for 12 years, walked by many times and never went in. Finally we walked in and what a surprise! There is so much more to this store than what I’d expected. Perhaps they should change some of the merchandise outside to better reflect what’s on the inside.

Cute, small store jam-​packed with cool accessories and attire. Heavy on the clothing selection. Friendly shop owners. Awesome gift finds!
