A handsome nineteenth century townhouse on New York's Upper East Side – though one that has been given a surreal overhaul by uber-desigers, the Rockwell Group – is the location of French jeweler Mauboussin's first American store. A cracked glass sculpture that rises through all three floors greets visitors and sets the tone for the surprise-filled interior that includes silver-stained wood floors, a bridal suite featuring an ostrich feather room divider and glass cases embedded with magnifying glasses. The piece de resistance? A top floor Salon des Gourmandises, dedicated to trying on jewelry while tasting the finest chocolates.
