The Enchanted Crystal

I just found this store yesterday and what a wonderful find it is ! Lovely, unique gifts and bridal items. There’s lots to see, so take your time. I was impressed with the QUALITY
of items, especially for the very reasonable prices. We bought 3 of Dennis’ custom masks for Mardi Gras and Halloween activities – and I couldn’t get over the wide selection of earrings and necklaces! It’s worth a trip to check out this unique San Francisco shop. I’ll be back soon !!

This store is a shopping experience. The window dressing alone begs a closer look! Once inside, you are transported to another world. Whimsical, sparkly, and unique describes the merchandise here. Too many cute little things to mention them all; nice gift ideas, coffee table accent pieces, costume jewelry, special occasion goblets, or masks for a Venice themed party. You get the idea — you don’t need it, but you want it! The owner is only too obliged to gift wrap your purchase if it’s a gift and does it in a snap at no extra charge.
Unfortunately, this store is closing. Buyers treat, everything is discounted. Hurry in to get some deals on the purchases you said, «I’ll think about it» to return at another time but haven’t. Sign up for «pop up» holiday sale updates too. I purchased a few birthday gifts on my visit.

This is my favorite store in SF!!! I go there every year (and as much as I can) for my birthday with my bestie! I usually go there to say hi to the owner Dennis! :D BEST STORE EVER!!!

Adorable items in this store! The salesman, Richard, is simple a delight to talk with and willing to be of assistance. Richard has great customer service skills, friendly, focused, personable, and brings a smile to faces.
Plan to be in this store for a while, there is so much to look at, and designed nicely, inviting, and cozy feeling.
It is worth a look if you like butterflies, masks, jewelry, and so much more.
Go check it out and say hello to Richard!

What an amazing little store! From the moment I walked in I was ‘enchanted’. The store is packed full of beautiful, unusual items. Things I’ve never seen anywhere else. I found some great gifts, and the saleswoman was fun and helpful. I visit this store now on each trip I make to San Francisco. There’s always new things to see!

I visit this incredible store each time I come to SF. It is always magical, delightful, captivating. We were renewing our Wedding Vows after 25 years of marriage and Dennis offered us a great price on several decorative items for our event: sparkling pair of swans, stunning guest book pen, terrific toasting goblets, etc/​. He is always sweet, knowledgeable, and helpful. A visit to the City would never be complete with out an experience of this wonderful venue. We are so glad this shop exists and offers so much pleasure and delight when visited!

Met the very friend owner (?) Dennis, he actually makes a lot of the accessories and decorations himself. Some girls came in to buy the fancy Viennese masks and he mentioned that he decorates them himself.
Definitely an eye candy store, and very nice, quality rhinestone accessories to consider too. Location dictates the pricing though.

This is a one of a kind store.
Imagine it to be place where fairies would shop. You can find all sorts of little fantasy, charms, crafts, jewelry, masks, etc. I really cannot name out all the things one would find here. The selection is wide and the qualities varies too. You have inexpensive items, to fancier ones.
This is really a place to walk around and shop yourself. There is little to no customer service here but you’ll really be quite taken with the store itself to be bothered by the lack of welcome and acknowledgement, which is something one would typically expect to the very least.
Don’t be surprised if they have a secret portal that leads one to a stable of unicorns!

I got the most gorgeous headband for my wedding here. I have short hair and needed a headband that I could tie behind my head, giving my veil the ability to nestle behind the ribbon. I found an incredibly stunning headpiece for less than 80 bucks. The stuff in here is SO AFFORDABLE and SO GORGEOUS. Anytime I feel the need for bling I will be going here, and I hope you get to experience the crystal forest that’s hidden inside this shop!
As a side note, I did have a run-​in with (I think) the same Valeria/​Valencia person the reviewer below me mentions, and it did knock one star off my experience because the woman was SO overbearing. She was hovering so much and gushing over us so much I couldn’t enjoy browsing. The owner, Dennis, is great, and another woman I worked with kept her distance but was very helpful. I was planning on buying everything the day we came in, but was driven out by this over-​helpful «O m g that was gorgeous let me hold your hand let me touch your shoulder put this on OH YOU LOOK GORGEOUS you’re so unique I’ve never seen this before»…It was very awkward. She wasn’t rude but I really wanted some space to shop!

This store lives up to its name and then some. Simply magical!

I stopped by Enchanted Crystal last week to find a birthday present for my future sis-​in-​law. The shop itself is such a sweet, pleasant surprise. They have a lot of trinkets and unique stuff that it’ll take some time to go through the store to browse. Dennis, the owner, is really nice. I found a one-​of-​a-​kind bracelet which I knew would be a great gift and it was reasonably price under $ 45. I also ended up buying my reception headpiece which Dennis hand-​made. It is such a classy piece and I just had to have it. Had a great time here and would recommend this place to all.

This place is an institution on Union Street that has survived the test of time. You can always find a gift for any occasion that may present itself. The merchandise is unusual and well priced. Plus after you shop you can hit starbucks next door.

I came here exactly five days before my wedding looking for a hairpiece (way to procrastinate!). The owner was extremely helpful and offered to custom make something if I didn’t find what I needed. Luckily I found a very tasteful pearl and crystal clip. Even better? It was only 24 dollars, which is a far cry from the 200+ one that I had been eyeing at Haute Bridal up the street.
They have a decent wedding section with hair clips, combs, crowns, and the like, and plenty of other knickknacks.

Okay so back in the day I was really in to fairys and this place would have been a dream come true. Where were you in my life back in 1994, Enchanted Crystal? Now I can take them or leave them-​but this place has fairies and so much more. I mean you can spend quite a while browsing through. The displays are so interesting and definitely beautiful and unique gifts at reasonable prices.
One little fear though is that I will eventually knock something over when I’m in here… very cramped space and so many fragile things! My boyfriend said any time we can come in here without destroying something, it’s been a good visit.
On my last trip here I did get a beautiful little glass paperweight with an antique bird design. (Birds have replaced my fairy obsession) They were open late during the Union Street festival of lights and the place did look pretty all aglow in the holidays. More importantly they had a bowl out of Hershey Kisses. That was pretty awesome.
Stop in when you’re in the area-​for Union Street, it’s a very reasonably priced and fun little shop.

My wedding jewelry was a huge hit, so popular that my best friend used my bracelets as «something borrowed» for her wedding the next month. She came in from Chicago and found the perfect pair of earrings and a hairpiece. I also bought jewelry for our rehearsal dinner, I can’t tell you how many compliments I’ve gotten on my enchanted crystal jewelry. You can’t beat the price, it really is great quality too.

From the outside, this place looked a little expensive and frilly for me. But once stepping inside it reminded me of the stores that grace my home town of Ferndale. These types of stores seem silly until you’ve stared at the items so long you fall in love with them and must. have. them.
The silk flower pins called to me, and were pretty well priced at 18 dollars, but I haven’t yet given into that look so I resisted.
I got a hello and good customer service and I’ll be back. I don’t know what for, but I’ll probably find something.

Not a dingy dark place as some descriptions may make you think. It’s a place of dreams for girls of any age. — However don’t step in with high expectations– Just expect to find a little something to inspire you and you will find it. I work close by and visit whenever I am on the way to get my coffee. (This store is adjacent to Starbucks on union street/​Laguna).
Although they have a beautiful bridal corner (delicate accessories), it’s the non-​bridal area that interests me. Jewelery; little gifts for your nieces, a set of magnetic rocks for little brother or some meditation rocks (inscribed with little words) for your room or purse (they come as pebbles too).
This is the sort of mom and pop store that you want to support.

My mom was diagnosed with Fairy Obsession about three years ago and has to come here every time she visits me so she can purchase a new one for her collection. This obsession makes my Mother’s Day gift finding very easy.
This store is particularly fantastic for those interested in fairies, gnomes and the likes of woodsy dwelling fantasy creatures. Once you walk in, you feel miles (or worlds) away from the city and like you’ve walked in to a fantasy world. The window displays are amazing and he redoes them for holidays and seasons, just walk by and appreciate the craftsmanship that goes in to them.
The owner is very sweet and gift wraps like a madman. Bonus if you buy a gift or want to pretend someone is giving you a gift. He has a nice selection of unique jewelry as well — I have bought some really nice pieces in there. He also has a huge bride section; tiaras, jewelry, picture frames, guest-​books, etc. I have no need for such however I think it’s really neat he has a such a nice collection.
Really, this place is just pure fun even if you leave empty handed. It takes a good 20 minutes to do a walk-​thru and well worth it!

Kick-​butt clutter with beautiful display windows. My first impression was that it was a playground for fairies and mermaids. But looking further, there was more to appreciate.
They sell tiaras and masks, both stock and custom-​made.
Margaret bought her crown for her wedding here. You can see it if you look closely at our wedding shot. Lots of people buy these for their bridesmaids.
Bottom line: Will I be back? Just for sightseeing. Since I’ve learned Kiyosaki’s definition of «doodad» I’ve been more resistant to this stuff. It’s a pretty gallery, and a nice place to look.

Dust-​collecting tchotchkes of the glass variety. You really need to be into this type of thing to appreciate all this store has to offer. Personally, I find it an interesting place to browse, not to shop, given neither I nor anyone I know collects glass mobiles, fairy plaques, magic stones, quartz crystals, dragons, or unicorns. In a space that glistens from floor to ceiling, you can find some Asian-​inspired pieces, vases, colorful gemstone jewelry, pottery, masks, sachets, and scented candles scattered among the crystal, crystal, and more crystal.
