Just outside downtown Rochester NY, to the East as the crow flies, there\'s a shopping district known for it\'s quaint boutiques and upscale jewelry offerings, as well as some of the best custom jewelers in the Eastern United States. Jewelry shoppers from as far away as Canada and the Southern US come to experience what Rochester residents already know - these area jewelers are pretty special. Park Avenue and Monroe Avenue are at the heart of this respected triangle, but there is also a gem - no pun intended - that lies just outside the triangle itself.

On Park Avenue, there\'s Parkleigh, a treasure of a place that\'s part drug emporium, part gift shop, and very eclectic. The jewelry here is primarily funky and trendy, a Celtic is a particular specialty. There are also several special boutique jewelers on Park, and a day spent here will reward the shopper well.

On Monroe Avenue itself are two area institutions, Manns and Cornells, both with far reaching reputations and featuring highly rated brands and exclusive custom work, as well as repairs. Cities twice the size of Rochester often don\'t have one store of this caliber, much less two in the same shopping district.

Moving further East, the gem referred to earlier - on Bay Road in Webster, across from the Baytowne Wegmans grocery store - is West and Company Jewelers. Home to David Nytch, a widely known and highly respected designer, West & Co. carries a wide assortment of designer and fashion jewelry, Chamilia Beads, and offers personalized service and repairs. It\'s well worth the trip, no matter how far you need to journey to get there.

So, if you decide to come to Rochester NY, to shop for jewelry or for any other reason, be sure to visit the fine jewelry retailing establishments. You won\'t be sorry, and you might even find a little something for yourself. Why not make it a day, or even a weekend, and plan a jewelry shopping trip to Rochester NY? You\'ll be glad you did.
