Gem Focuses on the Hand-made, Unique
Oak Park, IL – Don’t be misled by the store name “Gem.” There’s nothing flashy about this Oak Park boutique, with its emphasis on unusual styles and great design.
Though Gem’s shining star is jewelry, shoppers will find accessories and home decor items mixed in.
“A lot of what’s in my store is one-of-a-kind, a lot of it is handmade. It has an organic quality to it that’s understated,” said Laura Kitsos, an Oak Park resident who opened Gem’s second iteration in the village nearly three years ago, at 108 N. Marion St.
