Grovewood Gallery presents American art and craft across two floors in Asheville's historic Grovewood Village, with work by makers from around the country.

Visitors can explore studio furniture upstairs and outdoor sculpture alongside smaller works ranging from glass to ceramics and jewellery.

Grovewood Gallery occupies the former weaving and woodworking complex of Biltmore Industries, on eleven acres beside the Omni Grove Park Inn in Asheville. Edith Vanderbilt founded that enterprise with two teachers, Eleanor Vance and Charlotte Yale. By the late 1920s, under Fred Loring Seely, it ran more than forty looms turning out handwoven wool fabric that shipped as far as China and Uruguay.
The customer list from those years ran to Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Helen Keller, along with several American presidents and first ladies.
The gallery that fills the site now represents over 350 artists and craftspeople from across the United States, in a collection running from tableware to furniture. It is not a museum shop bolted onto a historic site. Working artist studios sit on the grounds, and craft demonstrations run through the year alongside rotating exhibitions.
The rest of the village holds the Biltmore Industries Homespun Museum and an antique car museum. A docent-led history tour ends inside the original Dye House, which is otherwise closed to the public and still holds the dye vats and the spinning mule.

Jon Martin founded the business in 1961, developing a workshop where experienced craftspeople worked with apprentices. Its Kalihi operation connects the furniture business with manufacture, while the wider retail assortment includes products beyond koa furniture.
Best for Hawaiian koa furniture and home furnishings
Martin & MacArthur began in 1961 with Jon Martin's intention to build a furniture workshop in Hawaii. The company's account describes experienced craftspeople working alongside apprentices and journeymen, passing on practical skills within the business. Furniture remains central to its identity, particularly pieces made from koa wood associated with the Hawaiian Islands.
Its history includes work in other timbers before koa became a major part of the range. A report on the company in 2011 places its factory in Kalihi and describes both traditional and simpler furniture designs. That distinction matters when choosing a piece, because the business is not confined to one historic decorative style.
The retail range also includes jewellery and accessories, together with art and other goods for the home. Those categories should be considered separately from the company's own koa furniture when asking about manufacture. Someone planning a furniture purchase can begin with the timber and intended use of the piece. A smaller gift purchase offers a different route through the same retailer without implying an identical production process.

New York’s blue-box jeweler since 1837 — the Tiffany Setting, Elsa Peretti and Schlumberger under LVMH stewardship. The Fifth Avenue store, open on this corner since 1940, reopened in April 2023 as The Landmark after the LVMH-era renovation.
Best for Blue-box classics.
The blue box precedes the jewelry. Charles Lewis Tiffany opened his New York store in 1837 and spent the century turning American retail into theater: the first retail catalogue, the acquisition of the French Crown Jewels in 1887 that earned him the nickname "King of Diamonds," and the six-prong Tiffany Setting of 1886, which lifted the diamond off the band and became the default grammar of the engagement ring worldwide.
The house's design history is unusually deep for a jeweler its size — Jean Schlumberger's enameled fantasies (Jackie Kennedy's bracelets), Elsa Peretti's Bone cuff and Open Heart, Paloma Picasso's graffiti. Audrey Hepburn at the Fifth Avenue window in 1961 fixed the brand in cinema permanently.
Under LVMH since 2021, the maison has been polished hard — the Landmark flagship on Fifth Avenue rebuilt as a ten-floor museum of itself. The robin's-egg blue, trademarked as a color, remains the point: no other house is identified that completely by a shade.

Best for Dana Heacock prints and craft gifts in Boothbay Harbor
Abacus Gallery has been owned and run by the same people for fifty years. It started small in Boothbay Harbor and has grown to five locations across Maine. That is unusual continuity for a craft gallery, and it shows in how carefully the stock is chosen.
Dana Heacock's calendar is what the gallery is most associated with. The 2027 edition is the thirtieth, carrying twelve monthly posters of new artwork, and the series has collected awards along the way. For a good number of customers the annual calendar is what first brought them through the door.
The other signature is stranger and better. The gallery carries one-of-a-kind assemblages built around antique wooden boxes and brought to life with found objects and moving parts, and no two of them are built to do the same thing.
The range runs to lamps and clocks as well as motorised sculptures, and they are stocked across every location. Jewellery and objects for the home sit alongside them. The moving pieces are the part of the stock that cannot be found anywhere else in the state.

Viviana Langhoff founded Adornment + Theory in Chicago in 2017. She had studied fine art and design at the Art Institute of Chicago and worked for jewelers in both fine and art jewelry. The name pairs adornment, the history of jewelry from the first civilisations, with theory, the studio practice of living artists. The shop shows both. Langhoff's own fine jewelry sits beside pieces by Jennie Dowie, Jules Kim, Alicia Goodwin and Laura Wood. Custom work and engagement rings are a large part of the business. The store describes itself as a company powered by and for women and people of color. Its first year closed with a pop-up event with tattoo artist Kelsey Moore, for which the line stretched two blocks. In May 2021 the Logan Square shop doubled in size to an 1,100 square foot showroom so that events no longer spilled into the street. Instore Magazine has twice profiled the store in its America's Coolest Stores coverage, in 2018 and again in 2022. That year Langhoff was also one of 13 designers in the De Beers Code of Origin Radiance project at the Las Vegas Couture show. The shop has since moved to a new storefront at 1433 W. Chicago Avenue, where it continues to host events for its community of artists and clients.

Barry Peterson started this business in 1971 out of Giacobbi Square, moved to the Mall at Elkhorn, then returned to Ketchum in 1984 before settling into the current 3,600-square-foot flagship in 1991. In 1972 he designed the Sun Valley Sun line at the resort owner's request, a piece the shop still produces, including an all-diamond version made for the resort's 50th anniversary.
Best for Custom fine jewellery and the Sun Valley Sun collection
Barry Peterson began crafting original jewelry in Ketchum, Idaho, in 1971 from a shop in Giacobbi Square. The Sun Valley resort community around it was developed in 1936 by Union Pacific chairman W. Averell Harriman. Five years later he moved the business to the Mall at Elkhorn, and in 1984 he returned to Ketchum and widened the collection to diamonds and precious stones, plus designer lines. He designed the present 3,600 square foot store himself. It opened on Sun Valley Road in 1991, where it still stands at number 511. In 1972 Bill Janss, the former Olympic skier who owned Sun Valley from 1964 to 1977, asked Peterson to design an original piece for the Sun Valley Company. The Sun Valley Sun that resulted is the shop's signature line, and for the resort's fiftieth anniversary Peterson made an all-diamond version set with fifty stones. Snowflake and Idaho collections followed. The shop carries brands including FOPE and William Henry, and Tane Mexico 1942.

Ginia's Gems combines two bodies of work by ReGinia Klamner in Boulder Creek, California. Her jewellery practice centres on memory-wire designs using semi-precious stones and crystals. She also accepts custom design requests, so the range is not limited to finished pieces. The second practice is herbal: Klamner describes remedies made with organic herbs and local honey. Her sourcing notes name New Leaf Community Market in Boulder Creek and Felton for herbs and oils, plus honey. Camp Joy Gardens supplies local honey and products. She also identifies Mountain Rose Herbs among her suppliers. The site describes five years of making elderberry preparations for her community and lists first-aid creams among the work. These are two distinct, checkable strands rather than a generic gift-shop mixture. Memory wire provides a recognizable construction method for the jewellery, while local honey and named herb suppliers ground the remedies in a separate material practice. Ginia's Gems is therefore understood as the output of one maker working across adornment and community herbalism, with custom requests available in both areas.
