R.S.Jewelry

Jewelry shops fill the sidewalks here almost every other block, but R.S.Jewelry keeps its counter small and steady. The store lingers at 1382 St Nicholas Ave in Washington Heights, where side streets slope down to Broadway’s thicker flow of foot traffic. Rings, chains, and watch batteries appear on the glass case right up front, while custom engravings wind up as another common request from regulars who step inside without fanfare. Reach them at 212-923-4040 if you’re hunting for a simple pair of studs or need a chain tightened on the spot. Directions wind north from the 175th Street stop, and the online map drops you within a half-block no matter which side of the avenue you arrive from: find the pin here and you’ll have the door in sight.
