Saffron is one of those quiet, little finds that makes supporting local businesses so gratifying. A friend once told me that if you introduce yourself to owner Tabesh and tell her a bit about what you like, she'll be likely to pull boxes out of seemingly nowhere, filled with unique jewels and treasures, certain to find something to your liking. I went in once in the week before the Oscars, and found a number of celebrities shopping discreetly for jewelry and accessories for the big night. I can see why one reviewer thought the shop was full of cheap Indian tchochkes; it's a teeny spot and if you don't take the time to go through things carefully, you might leave thinking all that's there is what meets the eye. But if you look deeper and get to know the lovely owner (shocked by "Nicole A's" review; I have always found Tabesh to be absolutely charming, greeting customers with a warm hello!), you'll find a treasure trove of wonderful things w/ which to spoil yourself. I have purchased a fair bit of both fine and costume jewelry here, and enjoy all of it. Prices can be a little high, but they have sales often, that are worth waiting for.
