I mostly like working with glass beads but they have a bit of everything. When you walk in you grab a little basket, it has little baggies & a marker to write the prices as you shop. The staff are usually helpful and good at answering questions. They do have a free rewards program you can sign up for which is nice if you plan on buying a lot or shopping there often.

There was a beautiful chain necklace with channel set round diamonds for just under $3k…read more I saw some nice sapphire rings and earrings as well. There were some art deco rings in the vintage section and other gemstone and diamond rings that were 40% off. I thought about buying this pretty and very unique ring for under $2k, but the staff member wouldn't give the free resizing for $40 away. Said something about them losing money and having to pay the metal worker that would have to resize it. If you are from out of town and have it mailed to yourself, then no taxes.

I bought a nice piece of green tourmaline that was $10 with the stand, some fun crackle quartz (dyed material), and a fun rainbow/iridescent piece (I forgot the name). They have Libyan desert glass ($10/g) and moldavite ($30/g) if you're looking for that.

The space is beautiful and you don't know where to look, there is so much to delight. I was particularly impressed by the owner, who didn't flinch when I asked him for a moderately priced dinosaur something for a young friend. He immediately knew what to show me...dinosaur poop, all shined up. Now, the young friend was delighted, of course, with the copralite, but even funnier was my accompanying story of the quest. Untold treasures, beautiful calm space, extremely knowledgeable owner = superb, one of a kind shop. Go!

I was in there just to look around, and saw one very nice staff helping a customer selecting necklaces and earrings to try on with her party gown. That is a nice customer service. Apart from their jewelries, they also have vintage handbags. I saw a few selections of soooo cute lulu guinness small purses, and some vintage prada and celine bags. If you are looking for vintage jewelries, this shop is definitely worth a stop.

I was really impressed by The Loft's selection of antlers, most of all. Antlers are the new owls…read more(and foxes are the new antlers, if the trend forecasting in my mind is correct). Like so many of these thrifty antique stores (some of them literally right around the corner, across the street AND next door to this place), The Loft so much bigger than it looks. The first floor isn't huge, but the basement goes on forever. It's just room after room of interesting oldies, but goodies. The woman upstairs was on the phone a lot, but she was still friendly. The guy working downstairs was helping someone move a piece out of the basement, but he still took the time to say hello. Kinda small, but appreciate that stuff. :) The specialty is clearly home-related merchandise, and I'd recommend checking The Loft out for furniture like credenzas, sofa tables, buffets, dressers and the like. There were a lot of cool options for that kind of furniture and all of it natural, beautiful wood and most of it in good shape. Also those antlers. Lots of mounted antlers of all shapes and sizes and most in the $50-75 range. The jewelry that I saw wasn't anything special and I didn't see much in the way of clothing aside from a few coats and fur stoles. The prices were moderate. I picked up a couple of items and was surprised at the higher-than-I'd've-thought expense, but mostly moderate. [I'd've=probably not a word.] In addition, I overheard a woman buying set of silverware haggle mildly with the shopkeeper and they knocked 10% off. A good reminder to me that it never hurts to ask for a better price at an antique store!
