Michelangela with Ambrosia & Nectar Jewelry
Posted on 6/18/2007 at Hoboken411
Michelangela, the store many of you know and love is open again and under new ownership. Stephanie Kaliades, the new owner, has given the Hoboken shop a facelift. A previous employee of the former owner, Stephanie bought the store two months ago. “I knew how much everyone loved the store, and I didn’t want to change what people kept coming back for.”
The store still carries vintage and antique furniture, much of which Stephanie paints herself. It also remains a great gift and home decor stop. The store is filled with frames, candles, clocks, lamps, dried flowers and many other distinctive items. There is an adorable collection of baby clothes and accessories as well as the French and Italian soaps and lotions they carried before. What has changed? The walls have been painted a more rustic green, very different from the light pink walls from before. “I think it gives the store a more homey feel,” said Stephanie, “I want people to walk in and say ‘I want my house to look like this!” The ceiling has been hand painted in gold detail, which creates a warm glow for the entire store.
The biggest change however is the new line of jewelry that Michelangela now carries. You may have already seen the sign in the window, “Ambrosia and Nectar Jewelry.”
The new owner created this jewelry line a few years ago. Now she makes all the pieces herself, right on the premises. Inspired by Greek and Roman Mythology, Ambrosia and Nectar Jewelry uses a unique variety of materials such as semi-precious gemstones, freshwater pearls, Swarovski crystals, feathers, corals, seashells, and precious metals. The moderately priced pieces start at just $20 for earrings and $50 for necklaces. She also does custom orders for wedding parties and other events.
So next time you’re downtown make sure to stop by. They are constantly getting in new things so you’re sure to find something you’ll enjoy.
