Boutique

Housed in a historic stone building, where Kingstown Road meets

What makes it a Rhody Gem?

“Sun-drenched and salty days on the beach” is how owner/maker Paula Quigley describes the vibe of her shop. Inside, the decor is sure to transport patrons to childhood recollections of sunny days by the sea. Not only is beautiful jewelry for sale, but there is a wide variety of home decor and lifestyle goods all with the same laid-back authentic coastal style. “The items are very reasonably priced,” says Martha Coneybear, an admirer and nominator of the shop. Pick up a piece during the weekend, 10am to 3pm, or bring in your own beach treasure to have a custom piece made just for you.
