    What a delightful surprise this shop was! We just googled antique shops nearby and took an Uber to A Galerie on a whim. We were instantly greeted by the proprietor Janice, and Robert, with a genuine and warm welcome. We were looking for Art Deco Nude lamps and figurines. Janice took us on a personal tour through her place, pointing out her special finds, and educating us on the history of each piece. While we didn't find one to purchase, we ended up walking out with a gift from Janice of a beautiful Art Deco lamp! I was overwhelmed by her generosity. We visited for a good long while, and We learned a lot and truly appreciated her and Robert's friendly nature. It was refreshing and just an all around fun experience. We will definitely be back when we have more time to dig!

    Gorgeous bronze cuff bracelet I got here. I have NEVER seen one so gorgeous!

    I can't BELIEVE that I have NEVER been to this amazing store! My husband and I moved to the D.C. area recently on military orders, and we decided that on such a beautiful spring day, we should take a little stroll down the streets of Old Town. For some reason, I decided to turn down a side street instead of staying on the main street, and that's when we came across A Galerie! We immediately crossed the street towards the store and from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with the most pleasant vibes! We were first greeted with the most cheerful "Hello!" from a sweet young lady named Branca. She let us know right away that if we needed anything she was there to help us, which immediately set the friendly tone for this store. My husband loves old antiques with lots of patina on them (especially military memorabilia) and he spotted a gorgeous piece in a corner that had his full attention. I on the other hand was immediately taken in by the large selection of BEAUTIFUL and eclectic jewelry! OMG, I have NEVER seen so many beautiful pieces in one spot lol. I was overwhelmed with how amazing the quality was and just how many pieces I wanted to buy lol! I'll post pix of the pieces I bought, but the awesomeness does not end there. A very sweet lady named Alba helped me try on the jewelry that I wanted to purchase, and gave the cutest commentary on pieces she thought looked really good on me. And then, just as I was trying on yet another piece, the cutest little blonde lady named Janice came from the back of the building. I realized shortly after that she was the owner of this amazing establishment, and she was SOOOOOOOOO helpful and sweet! She discussed all of the pieces in such great detail and she REALLY took her time with me! At no time did I ever feel rushed or as if I was taking up all of her time. ALL of the staff here are just amazingly genuine, sweet and helpful people! My husband and I will most definitely become regulars! This is such a well-hidden gem, and now, when I think of antiques, I ONLY think of A Galerie:))) I'm not sure if I can save the pix of the jewelry with this post, so just in case I can't, they are the photos of a bronze cuff bracelet, a turquoise bracelet, and two gorgeous exotic necklaces. I'm SOOOOOOOO in love with every single piece!!

    Stumbled in today & was pleasantly surprised with A Galerie! Didn't buy anything [yet], but Janice, the owner, is incredibly kind & knowledgable, & the space has a wonderful, spacious flow to it, especially compared to the antique stores directly off King Street. Prices seem reasonable, & the variety of art & furniture is wonderful.

Dejan is incredibly meticulous with every detail, highly creative throughout the design process, and made the entire experience feel collaborative and personalized. We had spare gold pieces that he was able to use towards a stunning gold men's wedding band that is Celtic knot style. Many people have complemented and have been very impressed with the style and detail of this ring in just 3 weeks of it being worn. Communication was always clear, timely, and professional, which made everything smooth and stress-free. You can tell Dejan genuinely cares about his craftsmanship and his clients. I would highly recommend Dejan Studio Jewelry to anyone looking for custom jewelry and a designer who truly goes above and beyond.

    I had no idea that coming in for a restring of my pearls would end up in such a wonderful business…read morerelationship. Grace is absolutely amazing! She has been from my very first visit. She has always treated me with the utmost kindness and respect. She's such a pleasure to talk to and do business with. That said, I do feel compelled to share an observation regarding the uncomfortable level of attention I sometimes receive from some of the male police officers/security staff while shopping. On multiple occasions I've noticed prolonged staring and a sense of being closely watched in a way that I don't see directed toward other customers. It makes me feel uncomfortable and takes away from what would otherwise be a quite enjoyable shopping experience. In contrast, the female officers have always made the environment feel much more comfortable. One officer in particular, a Black woman with short, curly salt-and-pepper hair, goes out of her way to create a consistently welcoming atmosphere. She often greets me before the staff has the opportunity to, chats with both me and other customers, and, during slower moments, can usually be seen wiping down the display cases with a microfiber cloth to make sure they're clean and presentable for the next customer. These are small but meaningful things, but they make a discernible difference in the shopping experience. Now...Back to my pearls. During my initial visit, I brought in my necklace which had been horribly restrung by another jeweler. Honestly, it looked like a toddler did it. While, I waited for Grace to grab the paperwork, I took a look at some of the beautiful pieces they had available in the store. Grace informed me that they were running a special, offering an additional 20% off of all jewelry that month to celebrate the store's anniversary. After I completed the paperwork for my pearls, I mentioned to Grace that I was interested in upgrading my white gold and diamond tennis bracelet: I intended to sell my current one and purchase a new one. She gave me the information necessary for that transaction and gave me a specific day to return so that a gentleman named Andrew would have the opportunity to give me a price for my existing bracelet. I came back on the day that she recommended and brought some other pieces that I no longer wear as well. I ended up selling the pieces (for a bit less than I thought I would get), but after talking with Grace, I realize that another diamond tennis bracelet might not be the way to go. She asked me if I had any interest in yellow gold. I told her that I haven't worn yellow gold since I was a child and that it's just never been my thing. She told me that it would look beautiful on my skin given my complexion, and she brought out a set of gold necklaces that were not shown on the floor for me to try on. I had to admit... She was right. Based on the aesthetic I told her I wanted when I was planning to get a new diamond tennis bracelet, the pieces that she showed me aligned much more with my vision. Essentially the conspicuous detail of the craftsmanship was much more impressive (to me) than the "bling". I ended up leaving with a completely different bracelet than I expected, but every time I look at it, I'm so much happier than I ever was with my diamond tennis bracelet. When I came back to pick up my pearls, Grace showed me some other lovely pieces that they got in... which I'm also considering adding to my collection. I love that Grace took the time to truly learn and understand my aesthetic, as well as my rationale behind it, as opposed to just selling me the first shiny thing. After I purchased my new bracelet, she confided in me that she was really glad I didn't buy the diamond tennis bracelet I had my eye on, even though it was a more expensive piece, because this item, in her opinion, looked so much better on me. What started as a simple visit to get my pearls re-strung has become the foundation of a long-standing business relationship. I appreciate that I have one dedicated person that I can go to, who has taken the opportunity to get to know me, not just as a potential customer, but as a person and is able to make recommendations from that place. I don't think enough businesses understand or value the importance of that business relationship. I'm currently planning to purchase a few additional items (that I otherwise had no intention of buying) simply because I value this relationship, I want to support the business, and because Grace took the time and care to gently push me past my comfort zone and help me to evolve my aesthetic. I've already referred this business several times and I am looking forward to many more future visits and future purchases.

This is as old as I have been alive depending on what month they opened up shop. 44 years which happens to be my second favorite number. I have walked by this store and maybe even been inside it before. Whatever the case is, my wife and I decided to see what wonderful toys we could find here. I found out that the last day of operation could be December 24th depending on supplies left. The jewelry I saw looked promising if I were a woman. I can say it won't be in this lifetime. The purple butterfly necklace caught my eye, while my wife liked the butterfly earrings. It wasn't till I had done a full inspection of the store that I saw a ring that said "buy me please." The ring I saw turn out to be two gecko lizards running in opposite directions in the center of the ring. The silver ring had small gaps in the ring where the cut out of the gecko lizards are. My smooth reddish brown skin can be seen shining through it...if you are close enough to me that is. The ring's price dropped from $28 dollars to $19.60. The ring is a size 8 and it fit perfectly either pinky finger. I feel the need to wear it again, but tomorrow will suffice. I found the staff members to be friendly enough. The place was pretty busy as we entered the store and somewhat busy when we left. I might not get another chance to see this store again, so I am glad I got a chance to see it while merchandise is still in the store. If you get an opportunity to aquire merchandise here, know that all sales on merchandise are final. There are no refunds or exchanges. So keep it in mind.

We went shopping there 2 times this week and were helped by different associates each time, all were fantastic. I even tried on a piece I had no intention of buying but she urged me to try it on just to see how it looked. She knew I wasn't going to buy it but was fun to try on a unique and expensive piece of Native American history. The prices are fair for the location. My mom wanted a sterling charm and the associates looked all over for it and found it. Great service! I see that their rating on here is 3 stars and I'm not sure why. This place is wonderful and I'll be back for sure.
