"Wild Things Blink and you might miss this hole-in-the-wall shop located just off Elmwood Avenue—and that would be a shame. Open since 1988, Wild Things features jewelry, ceramics, and photography from talented local artists with a focus on the unique. While most shoppers come for the one-of-a-kind necklaces made with natural stones, the tiny storefront is also known for its custom wedding jewelry, from crystal-encrusted bracelets to pearl drop earrings. Should you be interested in learning how to make your own jewelry, Wild Things even hosts a variety of parties, workshops, and events, complete with wine, snacks, special discounts, and more."

Really cute jewlery and art and findings shop. Lots of eclectic and handmade items. Perfect place to find a gift for any occasion. Beautiful street and store. The owner was really great in walking us through all the metals and materials that were in the earrings and necklaces.

My mom took me here to find jewelry for my wedding. Wild Things made her wedding jewelry so it is now a wonderful tradition. I cannot speak any higher of this place; the ladies were wonderful and created me the most beautiful necklace and earrings. I received so many compliments on my wedding day all thanks to them!

Amazing quality handmade jewelry. I shop here for all kinds of gifts. But did you also know that you can get your own bling repaired or reworked? I had broken necklaces, pieces I couldn't wear because they were too large. I brought them in and out of ONE necklace, I had a complete set of earrings, necklace and bracelet made for me. The ladies are true artists and I could not be happier to support them.

Had necklace and earrings custom made, turned out exactly as I wanted. This is a beautiful shop with lovely jewelry to look at and buy. I could have spent a couple hours just looking at everything! I will definitely be returning to purchase gifts in the future.

Fantastic selections of unique, locally made jewelry. The staff and owners take the time to make sure you get what you want and that it fits you correctly. I had a wonderful experience picking out my wedding jewelry here and would highly recommend Wild Things to future brides or anyone looking for a special piece!

The most beautiful and unique jewelry...an absolute favorite shop, from a self-described connoisseur/collector (junkie?) : ) Also they are very helpful and accommodating. I have had them do some custom work and minor repair or changing of earring backs. I truly appreciate their workmanship!

I stopped by today and I had such a great experience. The pieces are all so beautifully unique. There are also so many choices and depending on the piece you get the artist will fix it if it breaks. There is also a lot of locally made pieces and you can be comfortable knowing there’s not dozens of others just like it. Everyone at the shop was incredibly helpful, friendly, and didn’t rush me at all. Will definitely be shopping here again

I'm visiting from California and this store drew me in with the name and beautiful things in the window. I could have easily purchased a third of the wares displayed, there are so many lovely pieces. I ended up with a pair of earring made from glass from a church window and three delicious candles. This is a great store to purchase a gift a someone else, or to treat yourself!

I discovered this shop going to my hair appointments. But my appointments were always so early that it wasn't opened yet. So I would stare longingly through the windows and promise myself that I would come back another time later in the day. I finally got my chance when my hair appointment was later in the day and I was so excited to stop in after I was done. This is a wonderfully eclectic shop that has something for all your possible gift needs. And frankly it's very likely that you will find something that speaks to your heart or needs too. The shop is so charming with all kinds of chandeliers and displays cases and wall displays. There are paintings and etchings, ceramics and fabric bags , kimono masks and Tahitian pearl earrings!!! There are baby onesies and dish towels, revisable bow ties, and every style of hand crafted jewelry your heart could desire. The service is absolutely extraordinary. Paula was there both times I went there and she was helpful without making you feel pressured in any way. She had great suggestions, and was very patient. But also very knowledgeable about her stock and where items where and what pieces I might like to put together to make a set. This shop checks all the boxes. Women owned business. Sells all kinds of local artisans crafts. Excellent customer service. Beautifies the neighborhood. It's really well worth an afternoon drive in from the strip plazas in the suburbs to spend some time shopping for truly special and unique jewelry or art and maybe have a bite to eat at one of the neighboring restaurants.

This store is merchandised beautifully and was such a treat just to visit and look around. If I were wealthy, like won the lotto wealthy, I would have a room in my house that mirrored this store. Each day I would choose from it a beautiful piece of hand-crafted jewelry with silver and semi-precious stones to wear. I had noticed a piece of art in the window of the closed shop while I dined outdoors at Kuni's next door. When I came back to purchase the piece, I decided to browse around. But I hadn't even made it entirely through the door when what did I see to my left but the perfect necklace I had been searching for! It was a bit more expensive than I'd typically spend on myself on impulse but I had just had my heart broken and I deserved a present (is what I told myself). If I was never to have the man of my dreams, at least I could have the necklace of my dreams! Victory was mine. I do love the necklace I am happy that I bought it. This is a great place to find a unique gift for yourself or another; also a lovely place to take in some beautiful artwork.

Located right off Elmwood Ave. on Lexington, Wild Things is the perfect place to find a one of a kind piece of jewelry for a birthday, holiday gift, wedding jewelry, or just a gift for yourself. Local artists create these beautiful pieces of jewelry ranging from long & short necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, etc. I've been meaning to go back because a long necklace caught my eye in the window. I love supporting local businesses that also support local artists! Shop local, shop at Wild Things!

I was waiting for a table next door, I decided to stop by this store (I LOVE JEWELRY!) This place has very Unique jewelry pieces that are very creative and handmade by each designer. I love every piece of their creations and I admire the way they express their jewelry. I love their display on the outside (it was like one of those Alice in Wonderlands background). It almost made me feel like I'm in Anthropologie store, but every piece of jewelry is One of a Kind, nothing is repeated (which I love). Prices are not bad (maybe cheaper than department stores and websites). Their staffs are very friendly and Lovable people!. If you check out their website, it's only a few of their pieces, but they also do shows all around. So if you don't have time to Fly down to Buffalo, make sure to check when they'll be around your area.

What is there to say that hasn't been said? I came in here on the last weekend before Christmas looking for a last minute gift and was not disappointed. I've never bought jewelery before, but after browsing around for a few minutes, Paula came up to me and asked me if she could help me find something. I told her I was looking for a gift, let her know my price range and she showed me a bunch of different pieces to choose from. I ended up getting a beautiful hand bracelet for my girlfriend with pyrite stones and silver. All the pieces here are uniquely made. This particular bracelet was made by Carol, the owner of Wild Things who has been running the store in this location for over twenty years. Thanks for making such a unique piece! We love it :)!

Very unique jewelry store guaranteed to have something for everyone, regardless of your taste and style. The store is white and bright with beautiful displays of handmade bracelets, earrings necklaces and hair pieces. The jewelry is one of a kind and definitely on the expensive side. They have a small selection of handbags and other accessories too. There's a small selection of Buffalo inspired jewelry; rings with Buffalos on them, necklaces and bracelets with the word, "Buffalo" engraved. I liked this line of jewelry very much. Their gift wrapping is beautiful too. The woman working behind the counter was very nice and wasn't pushing us to buy anything at all, was very pleasant. Looking forward to coming back here closer to the holidays for some handmade gifts.

For fine, artist-made gifts, there's no place better than Wild Things. Run by a discerning group of women who curate a marvelous selection of lovely creations, Wild Things is pretty much the perfect small-business shopping experience. Virtually every piece in the store is one-of-a-kind and everything is perfectly merchandised to make it a treat for the eyes. The service is also top-notch; even if you only have a budget in mind, they can always help you find the perfect selection--and they'll wrap it beautifully, as well. Higher-end artisan jewelry--hand-forged gold & silver, semi-precious stones, etc.--in the $50-250 range is the store's bread-and-butter, but there are also textiles, ceramic tableware, candles, cards, wall art, (seasonally) ornaments, and plenty of other goodies for everyone on your list.

I LOVE this store! They have the best selection of artisan jewelry in Buffalo. There are so many different styles at different price points. The staff is helpful- I believe Melissa was the woman who helped me and was so great! My personal favorite designer is Brenna Shores Jewelry. Her work is refined but earthy. I love the raw diamonds. I've requested custom work as well and the jewelry has always exceeded my expectation! I highly recommend Wild Things to everyone. Certainly a gem in elmwood village.

If you have a girlfriend, mom, aunt, friend, sister, grandmother, cousin, in-law, fellow female human being etc...there is lovely handmade jewelry for every taste here. Room to move, many artisans and a variety of offerings, not just jewelry. Pottery, handbags, hats etc. Great for brides and bridesmaids and the NICEST staff! A must-go place in Buffalo for holidays for sure!

Easily my favorite store in Buffalo for jewelry. Beautiful, quality, original pieces for a variety of occasions, and they guarantee their work, which is great when you lose an earring or wear something out after not taking it off for a year. Highly recommended!

This place is AMAZING. They have gorgeous jewelry and a huge selection of it. Im pretty sure all the girls there are experienced silversmiths. They'll even fix your personal jewelry if you need them to.
