H. Stern

H. Stern is one of my favorite jewelry designers of all time. Lucky for me, Las Vegas has one of the three H. Stern stores in the U.S. Unfortunately, it’s located in the incredibly quiet, pricey, and intimidating Crystals.
Earlier this year I’d walked by the store and became obsessed with one of the pieces in the window. So, after obsessing all year, and saving some money, I made my return to claim the piece. But, as most people would be, I was a little afraid and intimidated to enter the store (it’s pricey).
It turns out my fears were without basis. The staff are really welcoming and friendly; you will not encounter the snobbery you find at other high end stores on the strip. They let me try on whatever I wanted and they got me liquored up — three cherry cocktails and a glass of champagne, all free, FTW. The selection inside the store is also fantastic, I found many other pieces to obsess over till my next visit (you know, when I win the lottery). If you’re looking for something well-​made, impeccably designed and not the norm, you need to check out their store.
I ended up buying the earrings I obsessed over and my salesperson, Lindsay, was really helpful in getting me the best deal possible. I’ll be sitting at home for the next three months stroking the prec… I mean, my earrings.
