Oh someone please keep me away from this place! I am spending all my money here!!!!!…read more I normally write about restaurants I visit but this little adorable shop is actually one of the places I keep going back to in the years I live in Amsterdam. It's a small shop on a side street right of the spuistraat. Beautiful shop full of hand made jewelry. This place is the main place I buy my rings and earrings in. (I'm not a necklace fan but they do have those as well). The style is very delicate and feminine and they have a big selection. The girls at the shop are really helpful and will adjust a size for you (mainly with rings) if necessary. Lovely shop. Not the cheapest place but I do have some of their things for a few years now and I'm really happy with the quality.

Loved this place ! Came across this little shop and thought I was going to like it as soon as I…read moreentered. In here, you'll find lots of jewellery, (rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces) that is handmade in a studio in Amsterdam. I hesitated for a while, and finally decided to get two little gold filled hoops earrings with lovely details on them, and a little gold dot stud. The staff was super nice, and really helpful. And because I wanted a special pair but in an other size that the one presented in the shop, one of the staff member actually made it, in front of me. It's not cheap, but because the gold filled is such a nice and reliable material, and it is handmade, it's totally worth it. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely go and check it out ! They also have an online shop for those (like me) not living in Amsterdam.

Unfortunately, it was not what I wanted, but a nice place to add to your list of places to view rings. We were lucky they toke the time to speak with us, since we did not have an appointment.

While I was in Amsterdam I Googled, "unique shops". The Otherist came up in every list so I had to…read morestop by. I had walked by this shop so many times and ironically, on my first trip to Amsterdam I stayed two doors down from it and never noticed it. I mentioned this to the owner and he said, which I agree, that part of the charm of Amsterdam is there are so many things here that you are constantly stumbling upon amazing shops and more every time you walk down the street. He couldn't be more right. The shop itself is so unique. I knew immediately that I would love it here. The items were cool and not like anything else I'd find while shopping. It's definitely not a tourist shop; it's not a t-shirt or postcard sort of place, but it features really cool home decor items from suspended butterflies to really cool metal displays. I knew immediately I'd find so many things I'd love and couldn't bring back to the states with me because I'd have no room and I was right, but I did find some cool metal keys to bring with me to decorate in my living room. I asked the owner if they had a story to them and he replied, "everything has a story" and that was good enough for me.

Such an amazing store! Definitely one of my favorite in Amsterdam. It's so original and different…read more Its a collection of different finds that are so exotic on their own but they still come together nicely, appearing to fit a certain theme. Exquisite pieces of decor, for sure! They have very "weird" pieces too, and simpler ones. For those who call themselves collectors, you might find something here for you. The displays are carefully curated so you should look carefully to appreciate everything!

It…read moretook months over the time agreed upon, the price was raised when i went to pay, i was charged for a certain amount of high carat gold and the earrings were short by 10 grams of gold and not assayed. They didn't communicate between each other at the shop and would tell me diff stories on the progress and why . I confronted them about this being racially motivated because i cannot imagine any of their rich local white customers ever returning if they recieved the service and deceit i experienced. I spent 1000's and wish i hadn't, the earrings are tarnished now to me.

Lyppens is a shop I came to know from one of my favorite vintage jewelry websites, so when the Mr &…read moreI knew we'd be coming to Amsterdam for the weekend, I marked this as a destination stop, so I could check out their offerings in person Well, I think I'd built it up in my mind to be much more than it was in real life because it did not meet my expectations at all There is a man-trap to get into the place so I assumed we'd be looking at high-end pieces. ( There were no signed high-end pieces that I could see ) The shop was extremely small but there is a lot of jewelry to behold. Unfortunately, the displays are jumbled together & the pieces seemed to be thrown on the tray ( no presentation ) & as a result, everything just seemed old & unpolished & unloved. A specific ring I had seen online was not out for display but when I inquired about it, they went to the back & got it out for me. But after I tried it on, I felt like I was surrounded by their staff on the off-chance I might try to run off with it.......which would have been impossible since A - I'm not that kind of person & B - please see above reference to man-trap Prices are extremely high & while they will negotiate the cost, we never got to that point. I had advised the person helping me that I wanted to go think about the ring - which turned out to be antique-style & not a true antique. She advised me we could discuss price when I got back But how will I know if I even want to come back if I don't know what your best price is - it would have helped me in the thinking process if I had had a firm figure in mind And with the info I was presented, I did not feel the need to return.....so yeah, I've experienced better

We were very lucky that he happened to have a canceled appointment, and we were able to pop in. Hans immediately assisted us, showing us several rings that we had been interested in. He helped us with sizing, and gave us some good advice on what type of rings would compliment our hands, based on some of the feedback that we gave him. In the end, we really lucked out. The rings that we had been really drawn to were available, and close to our size. Hans worked a late night in order to get the rings resized for us, as we were leaving the next day. When we picked them up, he gave us all the necessary paperwork for our VAT refund, and he was helpful in that respect as well. We really couldn't be happier with our experience with Hans. He was extremely friendly, and helpful. We both agreed that we really got the feeling that he puts his heart into his work, and that he really cares about his clients and their happiness.

I appreciate that they were very patient with me, despite me being a pain and overly picky. Make sure to make an appointment before stopping by the shop. Unfortunately, I could not make up my mind. I still need more time to decide on what type of ring I really want. Also keep in mind that they can personalize and customize your ring to your perfection.

I was walking around in this awesome street and…read moresuddenly there was this super cute little shop that sells woman's clothing, kids clothing, jewelry and other cute stuff. They also sell the lovely brand Sugarhill boutique, a brand that I love; it has the cutest dresses, tops and sweaters, often with little animal prints on them! This little shop is filled with so much stuff so it is really great for a little treasure hunt! The prices are very high but not very cheap either so I did not buy anything yesterday (students budget!) but I will certainly be back in the future when I have more to spend! :)
