Adorna Bella

This is a fabulous local shop with local artist work. Located in the heart of North Beach you'll find this tiny shop filled to the brim with unique, some over the top, some very delicate piece of art - that you wear. They also have pretty purses, scarves and little accessories. I am always very happy with my purchases from this shop and the staff is always pleasant. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a special gift or a particular jewelry item for that perfect outfit. This store is great and the selection is constantly changing because everything is one of a kind!

Pros: unique, decent prices, fun location

Cons: no parking, but it's northbeach, just walk!

I've always been a big fan of Adorna Bella. Have went to several of their artist openings, enjoy champagne on a warm sunday afternoon while snacking on munchies from local caterers and drooled over jewelry creations from local artist. But oh how happy I am to find out I'm not the only fan of this wonderful little shop, it's been voted best jewelry store in the city! I couldn't agree more! I have many pairs of earrings I've purchased from them over the past 2 years and hope to acquire many more. This shop is truly a gem in north beach.

Pros: unique, custom, parties, champagne!, hours, 10 to 10!

Cons: parking

I am the opposite of a procrastinator so of course I've already done my valentines day shopping. I came in here this weekend and purchased a beautiful gift for my wife and daughter for valentines day - although they haven't opened them yet I have bought things from here for past occassions and they have always been loved. I am excited to see this place doing well as it is a neighborhood gem and with such high turnover in the city I hope this place stays put. Very nice shop, if you haven't shopped here yet you are missing out.

Pros: totally unique - open until 10pm every night!

this is the most beutiful store in northbeach. Every day I walk past this store on my way to and from workk and it's so hard to resist going in each day. There are so many spakley jewles dangeled about the store and the window always looks so beautiful. This store does a wonderful job of chaning things up, keeping their inventory fresh and unique and every time I've walked in I'm greeted with smiling gals working there. the prices are totally reasonable considering everything is hand made, 100% unique and usually real gold or real silver. I love buying gifts here because it's all local artists that make the pieces. Very top notch place, i recommend it everyone.

Pros: jewelry

Cons: somethings are out of my bud - but it's some of the best pieces so its understandable

I'm addicted to jewelry and I recently noticed this place was voted best jewelry store in SF so of course I had to visit! It is fabulous, tiny but so packed with beautiful jewelry it took me a half hour to make my way around the entire shop. I bought a few moderately priced pieces as late xmas gifts, for my friends and for myself. So many different types of things to choose from you really can't go wrong. I will start recommending this place to anyone looking for fun unique jewelry and accessories.

Pros: unique

Cons: not in my neighborhood

From time to time you are able to get a piece of jewlery that will make others cringe with jealousy and ask accousingly ' " where did you get that?" . Well this is the store where you will find that AMAZING piece... and then some more !!! And if you aren't dazzled with the pieces in the store, the owner Natalee will work with you in creating a custom piece ! I have NEVER left this store without a beautful piece and a huge smile !

The jewelry is exquisite and stunning. I purchased a necklace for my wife, and she adores it. A year after I purchased an item, it needed some repair. The proprietor serviced the item immediately and without a charge. The experience was refreshing. I am a customer for life.

Pros: Jewely Quality, Atmosphere, Friendly, Location

I discovered this cute little place this Sunday because a sign caught my eye that said "Artist Party" well being a semi "artist" myself i was intrigued so I crossed the street. Turns out this is a jewelry shop that has a gallery feel to it! So cool! They have local "artist's" (aka jewelers) that make all the pieces and display it at the shop. During these monthly parties they showcase one artist and have them there to talk about their work, answers questions, all while you sip champagne and have delicious snacks. What a cool store! I bought one piece for a gift, but a few others caught my eye. I will definitely be stopping back later this month as i start my Christmas shopping. Very Very cool store.

Pros: one of a kind, parties, champagne, beautiful jewelry

Cons: a little hidden on such a busy street

I have a friend who works here and she's been trying to get me to come in to check out the incredible selection of accessories. I wish i would have went sooner. They have local artists that contribute to the store so there's a wide variety of flavors to choose from in jewlery so you're bound to find something that is just your taste and style. The staff is always very welcoming, which sometimes in small boutiques you get a snotty feel, this place is very cool and friendly. they are open until 10 pm! So it's a very fun place to drop into after a nice dinner in north beach. They also always have a nice selection of cool purses at GREAT prices! My friend told me that the owner does custom work as well and often times will design special sets for wedding parties, proms or any type of special occasion you're attending. If you haven't been you should definitely check it out!

I came in to look for jewelry for my bridesmaids and they went above and beyond my expectations. Not only was I able to describe what i had in mind but the owner helped me choose stones that matched my colors, and create individual pieces for all of the girls so each one went together but was unique. I absolutely loved working with Natalee and the staff at Adorna Bella and will continue to go there for custom jewelry. Although everything they have in the store is beautiful as well, i believe there are 30 local artists that contribute to the merchandise, but being able to have your own piece created while you watch makes it even more special. I am so happy i found this spot.

Pros: beautiful unique pieces, custom- open 10 to 10!
