After you’ve checked out designer shopping near the Spanish Steps and independent boutiques in Monti, stop by these locally-owned jewelry shops for a piece of the city you can take home with you.

Perlei
This artisan shop excels at colorful jewelry, gravity-defying metals and playful bijoux. Perlei‘s artistic pieces might look like they belong in a modern art museum gift shop but they are exceedingly wearable, adding a touch of pop to any outfit. Many creations are asymmetrical and use mixed materials including silk, PVC and stones. The base material is silver, often finished in gold or bronze, and crafted into various different shapes – both funky and more subdued.
Di San Giacomo
Di San Giacomo
If you’re into summery jewelry that incorporates bright stones and like your sandals bedazzled, you’ll love the creations at Di San Giacomo. This boutique creates customized leather sandals kicked up a notch with gorgeous semi-precious stones, pearls, beads and Swarovski crystals. Be prepared for the royal treatment as you sit on a velvet throne while the artisans take note of all your sizing and preferences to create your dream sandals. Di San Giacomo also has a whole range of more traditional jewelry, from charm bracelets and necklaces to broaches and hair clips.

Officine
If you’re into more bohemian jewelry, Officine is a petite boutique with a wonderful range of affordable accessories.

The bijoux are always on trend and wearable, often matching the clothes stocked in the store. Officine’s style is fun and casual and the emphasis here is on color and craftsmanship.
