Emeraldrose gifts is a unique eclectic retail shop located in the heart of beautiful downtown Bristol Vermont. owned by Greg & Jen, Emeraldrose is a dream come true, which began as our love of travel grew, and our desire to share all the beauty we had found along the way. We specialize in sterling silver jewelry with an emphasis on ethnic designs, Our store is a collection of treasures that we have gathered from our annual overseas buying trips.

Emeraldrose hand select's all of it's inventory and buys directly from the artist when ever possible. many of our suppliers use fair trade practices Which have an imitate impact on the artist's lives and which gives us, and you, a great oportunity to help others.
