From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the scent of sweet incense and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Ritual Arts curates a beautiful collection of local art and a host of unique and mystical items, from meteor remnants that came to Earth 4.5 billion years ago to hiddenite gemstones from Pakistan that "encourage spiritual growth from the heart outwards." The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and eager to help whether you're a longtime patron or a first-time visitor. I especially appreciated their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure I found exactly what I was looking for. Every visit feels inspiring, and Ritual Arts consistently exceeds my expectations. I always find something beautiful and magical to gift others or bring home for myself! I highly recommend stopping by--they make shopping a joyful experience!

Went here with some friends with really high hopes because of everyone saying it's a great place…read more However, we found the owner to be quite rude. Me and my friends were searching through the clothing and making sure to fold everything back up once we were done and the owner came over to us and made a few comments about us making a mess and then was watching over our shoulders the whole time. In my very personal opinion if you want someone to buy something from you maybe don't be so demeaning to them

When we went in, both staff members were friendly and super helpful. They let us know there was more downstairs, didn't even realize there was a downstairs! I picked out a great top and pants for my husband and he picked out a cute dress with jean jacket for me. The clothes were weather appropriate but there are also options for cold weather in various spots because it was still getting cold at night in Boston. The probably best part was all the art that was available from independent artists. I got so many stickers and posters to gift and hang in my house. Cat tarot cards are great and I'm so happy we stopped in here because the vibe was 10000% better for us than other thrift shops. I also got book earrings, an elephant bracelet, and another pair of earrings. . The prices are reasonable and there's some great things in there even from the 90s.

Four stars so far - this is an experience in progress…read more I recently broke a silver candelabra. Ok, raise your hand if you know where to get one of these things repaired. Good for you - I did not. I was pretty hopeless. Who would you even think to bring something like to?? On a different day I went jewelry shopping (the kind of shopping where I get "ideas"...har har) and I went into this wonderful place. Brimming with silvergoods (more so than with jewels) I asked if they repaired candelabras. Of course, they say! Yay. So at 5:05 pm today I call them and ask what time they close. Oh, you close at 5? "Well if you think you can make it here in 10 minutes, come on over." That from one of the Parsons himself. What a nice guy! I was so pleased that he stayed later than closing time. Icing on the cake was "sure we can get this back to you this week." More to come when I get the returned good.... UPDATE Wow, it cost $100 to fix (almost as much as the darn thing is worth) but they did such a fantastic job on it I don't think it will ever break off again. You can hardly tell it was fixed. They had it back to me in a couple days, too. Great service!!!

LOVE this place…read more David and the team are the type of people I like to do business with. I needed a ring made. I had no pic of the original. Searched the internet for something close, then emailed 6 jewelers. David called me the following day. Still have not heard from anyone else. I emailed David the images, 3 weeks before Christmas '13, then went over to discuss the specifics in the shop. Describing something from memory that I lost 5 years ago, proved to be problematic. Farley asked all the right questions. I was so impressed. And they said they would have it done before Christmas. For the duration, I brought my boss and colleague in when they needed to purchase Christmas gifts- 5 mins after closing. We were welcomed with open arms, and we got to see some really special historic pieces the store has for sale. On the date they promised, I got the call. The product is impeccable. This ring has not come off my finger since that day. Firestone & Parson was there for me when I needed them. Professional, personable, understanding. When I do business and I get a sense of family, I know I'm in the right place. Do yourself a favor and stop by.
