Royal has been my little secret for a while. I come here because I love quality jewelry, but hate to pay retail. They always have something new. If you're a shopaholic like me, you know that an ever-changing selection is like catnip to a Cornish Rex.
The other thing I like about Royal is that when I get tired of a ring, bracelet or necklace, they buy it back from me. Because of that, I am always wearing new bling! It makes my girlfriends jealous!
Royal has free parking. That is a very good thing in the Loop.
I will warn you, it's not Bloomies, and sometimes some "interesting" people walk in there. But, in many ways, to me, it's better than Bloomies. I get great deals on the jewelry I love and I am treated as if I were a rock star. It makes me feel sort of hip and edgy. And, with my mostly mundane life of work, eat and sleep (in that order), I'll take as much hip and edgy as I can get! It's my "Royal" adventure in this great city. Highly recommended!
Pros: Great prices on high quality jewelry, free parking, fun
