Orion Silver and Accessories

Orion is a cute jewelry store that packs a sizable collection of jewelry, scarves, handbags, hats, and other miscellaneous accessories.
When I walked in late one morning, the owner immediately greeted me and handed me a couple of coupons. The store has been open only about a month. It’s hard to spot from the street as it’s located on the first floor, below street level, of the building. The only sign visible to the outside is the white board sitting on the sidewalk. Hanging from the walls are several rows of necklaces and bracelets in multiple styles, not all of which are silver, but cute nevertheless. There are display cases with the silver items, most of which are reasonably priced. The pins, broaches, and rings are on the opposite side of the store from the necklaces, but anything that can be matched is displayed together. What really grabbed my attention, though, were the scarves. Some were ordinary, but the shawl and pashima-​style scarves with decorative embroidery were really stunning.
The jewelry on the main wall was displayed in lightweight plastic and I found that a little annoying. It detracted from the piece and some things that looked cute didn’t look cute enough for me to bother looking at more closely because of the plastic. The owner explained there was no problem with taking it out of the bag to try it on, though. Maybe when I have more time, I’ll do that. She mentioned some parents come in with their young children from the music school next door and the bags help keep things organized especially for those items at kids eye-​level. The store is beautifully organized and there’s something to look at in every spot. In fact, there’s so much here, I’m not sure where she’s going to put the watches she mentioned she was going to start stocking.
Although it doesn’t carry locally-​made items, Orion’s, as a small, locally-​owned store, is good spot to pick up a quick gift, or something to match an outfit, without spending a lot of money.
