Sikara & Co., an internationally inspired modern fusion jewelry company makes Union Street in San Francisco its new home as a "pop-up" shop.
The pop-up style store front is one of the newest trends to emerge in retail. "This style of store front allows us to open a temporary store in San Francisco and market test our collections as we roll them out nationally; we are very excited to be one of the first pop-up stores in the city," said Mousumi Shaw, Founder and Creative Director.
The temporary store features globally inspired designs that fall into four collections: Indian, Italian, Mexican and Egyptian. Limited edition pieces will also be available for the holiday, many of which are exclusive to the Union Street pop-up. Sikara & Co. has partnered with San Francisco Stylist, Jill Siefert, as she will be helping customers most Mondays in the store with free styling tips.
"My travels have inspired me to work with a network of international designers to present a truly unique line of jewelry. When a person purchases a piece, they also learn about the history and culture pertaining to the country where the designer of the piece originates," said Mousumi Shaw, Founder and Creative Director.
The handcrafted line is sterling silver with semi-precious stones. Each piece goes through 10 to 12 hands while in production making it truly handmade. Sikara jewelry is sold in more then 230 stores across the United States.
Sikara & Co. is located at 2167 Union Street, in a 800 square foot space. Hours of operation are Monday through Sunday 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM and the store will be open until December 30, 2009. Prices range from $50.00 - $650.00.
