This was my second visit to Reverie and both times I came away with a bag of treasures! I know, I have a serious jewelry problem. Allison has exquisite taste. I love unusual pieces and she has a beautiful collection. It's relaxing and fascinating to visit her beautiful shop. Things range from easily affordable to investment pieces. I appreciate the research she puts in to her jewelry and getting a bit of background. It's part shopping and part history lesson. This makes for a very enjoyable experience. This is jewelry with a high level of refinement. Allison has a good eye and if she says something works, I believe her. Highly recommend this beautiful treasure box of a shop. read more

It has taken me way too long to write this review...but here it goes. I came across Alison's fabulous collection/store on Instagram from another antique jewelry seller I had been doing business with for years. I immediately feel in love with her eclectic taste in jewels and her fantastic eye for unique pieces of jewelry. She is an absolute dream to work with regarding prices and layaway (which is how I am able to purchase such dreamy jewels). I cannot say enough great things about her as a person, a seller and a caretaker for the past. Next time I am in NYC I will make it my first priority to visit her retail location which I can only imagine will be a store from my dreams! read more

Reverie - Here are a few pieces I have purchased from Alison. They always get a lot of attention when posted to IG! - Jewelry Near Me - New York, New York

Lots of amazing and unique items for artisan prices. The vendors are fair and want happy customers; they are also helpful and courteous. Visit the lower level, Lost Link, a specialty cuff link store. The gentleman that works there is honest, knowledgeable, and hilarious. It's a great store to get a man a unique, quality gift. read more

Reverie is the best shop for vintage and antique jewlery I have ever visited (and I've visited quite a few shops around the US and U.K.)! It has pieces for everyone - a stunning selection of Art Deco and turn of the century gold and platinum jewlery, gorgeous crystal relics of the roaring 1920s and 1930s, and stunning sparkly pieces from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. She carries a particularly incredible selection of 1920s crystal flapper necklaces and rhinestone decked jewlery! Her shop itself is a beautiful oasis of antique jewlery and accessories, expertly decorated and a pleasure to visit on any weekend excursion! You will literally step back in time to another era as you enter. Most of all, Reverie presents a curated collection in which every piece is unique and has a story, which its owner, Allison, meticulously researches and showcases. Allison is also extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history of each piece as well as the gems and materials from which they are made. She is selective as to which pieces to include in the shop, shares her knowledge and research about each piece with customers, and is super helpful with choosing gifts for someone, sizing and tailoring pieces to make them even more special and unique for customers! Her jewlery is also perfect for every occassion. I found pieces to wear to both formal affairs and everyday to work in my corporate law office. Her collection of crystal necklaces in particular are great for jazzing up a traditional corporate suit! I've found gifts for family and friends for every holiday. Reverie's pieces with gemstones, particularly diamonds, sapphires and rubies, are of the highest quality and rival any other vintage jewlery store I've visited because each piece is truly one of a kind. Allison also has a particular expertise in restoring and repurposing antique jewelry. For example, I received a locket that was originally intended for a watch chain as a gift and she helped me find the perfect matching watch chain to accompany it as a necklace, even with a matching diamond shaped slide! It now hangs beautifully on its intended chain repurposed as a necklace. Reverie also has a great collection of its own custom designed jewlery! I found great 1940s mother of pearl carved earrings which I enjoy wearing on the weekends or on vacation. The accessories are quite beautiful and unique as well with vintage compacts, decorative rhinestone hair combs and artistic glass perfume bottles. Finally, I send Reverie further kudos for maintaining an interesting Instagram and being very responsive and flexible with customers online. I subscribe to Reverie's Instagram and have learned so much from it. Her posts are a great preview to the shop and collection. In short, everything about Reverie shines and sparkles very nicely! read more

Alison is a rare gem. No pun intended. She makes the most amazing one of kind designs, pure work of art. Designs range from pieces that you can run around the streets of NYC in, to the opera or to a fancy ball. Combined with beauty, a winning personality and the ability to translate your vision into one of a kind custom pieces, who could ask for a more priceless treasure. I have some of the most talked about sought after designs created by this beautiful lady. No kitschy kitschy pieces here, if you are a collector and love fine antiques you should check out her charming shop. read more

WOW, I am so glad I found this place. What a true gem!! Alison, the owner, helped me design the perfect gift for my extremely picky sister and she LOVED it.
