Local Charm

Boston


Here's something to make you cynical: Local Charm is a chain store, with outlets in five states. Once you clear up that misunderstanding, you can appreciate the exquisite things on offer in this tiny jewelry boutique. The jewelry is tasteful, artful and interesting. And some of it is even crafted by local artisans.
