Located in Chinatown, off the corner of Mark's Garage, across the street from the Hawaii Theater. This little boutique shop has everything from jewelry to potted succulents to cute stationery paper. I first heard of this little gem off of someone's Instagram post and instantly fell in love with the chunky necklace the girl was wearing. Seeing she tagged where she bought her necklace from, I then started looking on Ginger13's IG page. Let's just say I became even more obsessed with Ginger13's jewelry lol.
Feeling determined to check out their store in Chinatown, I finally made my first visit to her store on Small Business Saturday where they were offering 25% off your entire purchase. As soon as I entered, the sales associate greeted me right away. She was super friendly and told me about their promo for the day. And when Cindy, the store owner and designer came up front, she introduced me to her. Cindy was super friendly too. She told me about how she started this love for abstract designing about 11 years ago and opened up this shop about 2 years ago. Both Cindy and her sales associate were super helpful when it came to picking out a necklace. I knew I wanted a chunky necklace, but feared it wouldn't match me as I'm more of a subtle jewelry type person. But she let me try it on and I couldn't stop staring at how beautiful it looked on me. There were so many different types of rocks, colors and style, it was really hard to choose one. I wish I could buy them all, but the style I was looking at ranged in the mid-$90s :/ It's pricey, but you can just see the love that goes into every single jewelry that Cindy makes and it really is a work-of-art.
After looking through the entire store and with the sales associates help on letting me try on other styles and her useful advices, I finally found the necklace I wanted. Cindy advised me that she can always change the length on the chain if I ever needed to even after my purchase. The regular price for my long-chain chunky necklace was $98, but with their Small Business Saturday promo, I only spent about $77. Awesome Sauce!
I wish I wasn't sooooooo addicted and obsessed with Cindy's jewelry, but I'm sure I'll be back, spending more money LOL. Be sure to follow her on IG as that's where she lets her customers know of any sales that may be coming up. She also has a website where you can purchase her jewelry http://www.ginger13.com/
