There are over 25 merchants in Antiquarius, situated near Cedars-Sinai Hospital on the border of Los Angeles, West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. They range in size from 10-foot long glass-case counters to boutique stores, and they primarily deal in high-end antique jewelry and watches. If you are looking for a Victorian-era engagement ring--there is no better place. Same for Edwardian silver brush sets, vintage desk clocks or a period Rolex. There are several real jewelers and master watchmakers here--and by that I mean people who work in silver, gold and platinum and can repair or resize any piece of jewelry, and people who can clean and repair the most complex mechanical timepieces. This place is truly a treat, even if you're not going there to buy, it's really fun to browse and see all the magnificent items.
