Fantastic jewelry store in the heart of downtown Stavanger. I passed by several times and was…read morealways enchanted by the heart pendant display in the window. On our final day, we went in and inquired as the pendants were very unique - actual physical hearts as a pendant and not the normal variety. The employee who helped us was so good. She explained everything about the unique design and Bjork the designer. Helped me try it on, showed us other products and when she rang us up (of course it was purchased) she even told us about the tax program and how to fill out the paper. We'd been in dozens of stores during our trip and she was the only person to tell us about this. Very lovely store - so many unique items. The price was very reasonable. Before going in I had feared it would be too expensive but it really was in our range and not overly pricey for the quality and how interesting the pendant is. I recommend stopping in and picking up a unique piece of Norwegian jewelry if you're visiting!
