Dioro Gioielli

Published: October 19, 2009Posted in: jewelry, storesTags:

There are many jewelry stores around milan from basic beads to multi carat yellow diamonds glistening in the window of Cartier.

Dioro jewelry store near the Via Dante is a cute little shop with unique and fun pieces. They are constantly changing their inventory and have pieces that make for a great gift.

It is a small shop, and a lot of things are in drawers behind the counter, so if you see something you like, they most likely with have it in many variations. Towards the left there is a back room with a jeweler often working on his bench right there. So you know what you buy is hand made and one of a kind.

Right now they have these fun color bracelets with a few silver charms lining them.

Stop by when you are walking from Cadorna down to the Duomo and see what they have in the window at that time.

Ennji Store

Published: September 23, 2009Posted in: FAVORITE PLACES/THINGS, fashion, jewelry, storesTags:

There are some places that you come across that you either want to immediately tell all your friends about or you want to keep for yourself in order to not overexpose it. This is one of those places.

Right up the road from Porta Genova station, Ennji is a small store easy to walk past, but if you are window browsing, it’s a definite place you would stop into. The store is a small space, but it is packed with things, from fun jewelry to bags to clothes, and so you can browse for a while. Everything is one of a kind, which means that there is only one of each style of clothing, making hundred of options, but if it is not your size, too bad and move on.

The price range is more than reasonable. Sweaters at 45 euro, dresses at 90 euro, leather jackets at 200 euro. All price ranges, but most items are in the 45-90 price range which making shopping so much more fun.

Not much else is better than finding a store with cool one of a kind clothing at prices that you get at mass produced stores like Zara.

So next time you are around Porta Genova, stop by and take a look.

Vanessa Amalia Jewelry

Published: July 20, 2009Posted in: FAVORITE PLACES/THINGS, fashion, gifts and home, jewelryTags:


Milano may be a city with high design and high fashion, but so is NYC. Therefore, there is an exception made to feature VanessaAmalia jewelry. She may not be

an Italian designer, and this site is everything Milano, but the internet is virtual, and it makes the two cities one in its own (well… sort of).

All hand made from her studio in NYC, the jewelry of VanessaAmalia is totally unique and certainly you will find nothing like it in Milan. Made from silver and gold, the line has so many different pieces that it is easy to find something for anyone, or a lot for yourself.

Take note of the stacking rings in gold with an array of stones (from diamonds to sapphires) that are pictured above, because they are awesome. There is also a line of good luck charms which will brighten anyones day, because quite frankly everyone needs a little more luck and good fortune in their lives.

Check out the site VanessaAmalia to see all the designs. Also make note that the prices range from inexpensive upward, and everything is of high quality. Her jewelry is

only in stores across the United States, but the beauty of online is that you can have anything shipped to Milano or anywhere you may be.

So before the August holidays start, order something from VanessaAmalia to accessorize your outfits, or buy a gift for whomever you may be traveling or visiting. You will be glad you did so.
