As a jewelry junkie, I'm always on the hunt for something standout. It has to be eye-catching, it must have a style of its own and I have to love it. I found it recently at a Xenia Callahan trunk show. The local designer, who sells her pieces under the name of Xenia Mara, uses vintage copper and brass chain, and found objects and gemstones to make one-of-a-kind jewelry.

Northwest jewelry designer Lisa Kinoshita recently moved Mineral, her studio and retail shop, to new digs, and the small space is a gem of a jewelry store in downtown Tacoma.

If it weren't for the enchanting window displays, you might just walk past this tiny storefront in Ballard. Souvenir has no sign -- purposely, to weed out the noncurious. It's an insider, word-of-mouth find, like a mysterious little shop down a Parisian street in the Latin Quarter.
