Rhody Gem: OMO Jewels & Gifts Dazzles Year-round in Sleepy Watch Hill

January 2025

Posted
What it is:

More than a jewelry store, OMO is a haven for beautiful objects, from clothing and gifts to ceramics, hand-blown glass, and home goods.

 

Where to find it:

Along scenic Watch Hill Road, find the store halfway between Westerly and Watch Hill, inside of Avondale Arts and across from the Cooked Goose.

 

What makes it a Rhody Gem?

Founder Joanna Papineau-Allen stocks a revolving assortment of artisan goods in her waterside boutique around her belief that “life should be lived beautifully” every day. Papineau-Allen opened OMO in 2016 as “a celebration of my personal style, love of color and whimsy, and admiration of American handcrafted design.” This includes collections from popular designers like Suzy Landa, Paul Morelli, and Jane Win, plus a curated collection of elevated casual clothing from designers Frank & Eileen, Kinross Cashmere, and Mother Denim, to name a few. The glitz and glam of fine jewelry may draw you in, but wander the store to find seasonal home accents, books, cards, and fun notepads. While indulging in the treat-yourself attitude is encouraged, OMO is also the perfect stop for finding a small housewarming gift or something shiny to commemorate a special occasion.
