This airy warehouse space is home to an exquisite, carefully curated inventory of rare books, cool Japanese glassware, and impeccable pieces of vintage and contemporary jewelry, ranging from Victorian jet beads to Natalia Brilli's leather-wrapped pearls.

. . . Original selection includes Victorian jet and vulcanite necklaces; engraved sterling silver cuffs from the early 1900s; brilliant 1950's American rhinestone brooches; and delicate 1960s citrine stone rings from Scandinavia.

This is the story of two women who collect. Not just to collect, but to prove something to the world. They will sacrifice anything to achieve their goals. Except their honor. Melodramatic? Perhaps. But Ritz Yagi and Oriana Reich win our respect for Chariots on Fire. The slick, modern space is home to charming objets d’art (dead stock milkshake glasses, mega-bling paperweights), carefully chosen vintage books, and jewelry that gets the heart racing. Supple leather pea pod necklaces from Paris, theatrical collars made from gold-plated Venetian glass, and fun charm necklaces from Amsterdam will compete for your attention, but you’ll sprint toward ultra-chic jet rings by Londoner Jacqueline Cullen.

. . . A showcase of finely selected vintage to contemporary jewelry & objects in a timeless setting. A must destination for the global traveller.

Friends Ritsuko Yagi and Oriana Reich, who describe themselves as hunter-gatherers, spent years traveling the world to build up an inventory of intriguing objets. Some are commissioned from designers and artisans they've met at trade shows or antique shows. The offerings run from milk-shake glasses and apothecary jars to Victorian and contemporary jewelry, such as Jacqueline Cullen's handmade rings and bracelets using jet found on English beaches, and colorful leather-covered beads. Vintage books selected for their subject matter (travel, photography, design) or format (braille, letterpress) are another specialty.

. . . newest hangout for the design shopper opened in June and is already

responsible for salivating fits of excitement over its

perfect combination of vintage and contemporary.

The main catalyst for this behaviour is Jacqueline Cullen's Whitby jet ring, part of a collection commissioned to sit alongside the antique jet jewelry.
