I have never been disappointed with a purchase or glance around the store. It's a difficult time entering into a gem of a warehouse like this, especially if you happen to be "browsing" or "just looking" when you really know that you weren't prepared for the treasure you'll come across that you never knew you wanted to need. Bracelets and necklaces can be custom fit, based on which crystal glassware or gem you want to feel for the day. You also have the ability to create your own accessories to your own desires or custom design a bracelet for a friend, loved one. While the prices are more than fair, if you know what you're looking for and at, you may even come across a hidden treasure so original, you find yourself setting time aside in the future for yourself and friends to travel the river's edge for some rocks and jewelry.

I took my wife here as part of an early Valentine's Day gift. She discovered this place with her…read moremom a few years ago while at the downtown Troy farmers market and has always been able to find a few interesting gifts each year for folks and herself ever since. The store owner used to work at the previous business, Cooper's Shoes, a family business that survived four generations before passing on. The Counties of Ireland, established in 2000 and in its current location since 2005 is not a shoe store but rather a specialty store that sells all manner of goods from clothing and crafts and inis to jewelry all crafted in Ireland. The merchandise is different and interesting. During this visit, for instance, my wife wanted to get the remaining earrings and ring that she needed to complete one of her jewelry collections called the, "House of Lor" which is a beautiful silver and gold set based on the famous Ardagh Chalice. The Ardagh chalice is one of the most famous pieces of a collection called the Ardagh horde that rests in an Irish museum in Dublin and is considered to be one of the finest works of insular and Celtic art from the 8th century and in general. This is just one example of an interesting set of gifts which you can not only enjoy for their beauty but for their story. I've managed to spread out completion of this collection over a few years with my wife and it has really been a treat to see her eyes light up every time I got her a new piece for a special occasion. The owner and staff are friendly, attentive but not pushy. If you are looking for a interesting store with items that have a cultural identity that differentiates them from a more generic counterpart in the mall or a chain, I recommend visiting the Counties of Ireland. I especially recommend visiting them in February because that is when they have a lot of sales to make room for new items they go to Ireland to purchase in March.

Paula, the current owner is so friendly, she is a pleasure to deal with. She has a very discerning eye, so everything is in great condition or new or like new. I love shopping consignment because there are so many one-of-a-kind items. She carries women's & Mens (!) clothes, jewelry, shoes, handbags, accessories, & some housewares, art & books. She recently revamped the store so it's easy to find the areas you are interested in. I love that the men have their own cozy room. Everyone in there, from the staff to the customers are so friendly, I sometimes feel like it's like a neighborhood pub, without the drinks. (Although, being near Halloween, there is some candy for you at the counter) I highly recommend visiting here. *Just want to mention here that the 3 star reviews below seem to be about a different store. 1 is a review of a place in an outlet mall that only sells women's vintage & the other mentions labels cut out, which this store doesn't do.

There are 2 cool things about Artique Co-op: the variety that you get as a shopper, and the fact…read morethat they give all these local start-ups a place to set up shop. When I say variety, I mean reallly variety! Dog treats, melted glass bottles, light bulb ornaments, crocheted socks, amber jewelry, a clock that runs on water, a barber chair, pasta sauce, a heart made out of wine corks, fashion clothing designed just for you, Americana, hats for Saratoga track season, sparklers, polymer clay jewelry, and artwork made out of bent forks. What this translates into is that you KNOW you will find something when you walk in, because the interests are so wide. Regarding the start-ups, it's neat for them to have a place to launch their businesses while having some support or infrastructure at the same time. I wish there were more places like this.

The sales girl (can't remember her name) was so welcoming and could not have been any nicer. She was extremely helpful with trying on the dress and pinning for alterations. I was thrilled to find this gem of a store and this dress, which is for my daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner. It arrived to me in Georgia within two weeks.
