Hurs: Fab Place for Jewelry and Accessories

I wish I could remember who originally pointed me to Hurs Wholesale Mart (5316 Buford Highway NE; Atlanta)... because I need to thank them.

Hurs is a megastore of jewelry (costume and sterling), brooches, hats, scarves, handbags and other fun accessories. While you have to peruse the aisles rather carefully to sort out the kitsch from the fashionable, Hurs is a place you shouldn't pass up. Their offerings are perfect for birthday treats, Christmas gifts, bridesmaid "thank yous"... and of course, beefing up your own accessories collection.

First off, almost everything in the just ITP store is under $10 (save the sterling jewelry, tiaras, scepters and oversized bags, which really aren't my thing anyway). And the variety is incredible! If your style is retro, funky, conservative, preppy, trendy, punk rock or whatever, this place has something for you.

Some photos from our visit (note: I took more photos of the funky items, but there were plenty of fashion-forward and conservative items, too).



One of the first things I spotted - a red, leather purse IDENTICAL to mine (except $18 less expensive).

Wall to wall costume jewelry and other goodies.

More.


Those bib necklaces that are all the rage (I think these were $10/each).



Awesome or sketch? You decide.


Hair accessories.


Felt hats: $20.



Yeah, I'm not sure either...

These necklaces have wacky grandma or freaky kindergarten teacher (or Julia?) written all over them.

All in all, I spent a grand total of $103 but came home with the following:
  • Vintage-y looking brooch for my potential New Year's Eve outfit
  • Two pairs of knit gloves (gifts)
  • An owl pendant necklace (gift)
  • Two knit headbands with fun knit flowers sewn on (one for me, one for a gift); I'll have to post an outfit wearing this later -- it's so fun!
  • A jeweled evening bag/small purse (gift)
  • Two scarves (gifts)
  • Two white elephant gifts for a holiday party (guests of Ben and Becca's annual Ugly Sweater Party, watch out)
  • A holly berry scarf to don for aforementioned holiday party
  • A colorful costume necklace (gift)

Not bad, eh?

Now that you all know where you're going for your Atlanta costume jewelry and affordable fashion accessory needs, I know we can all sleep better tonight. :)

Thank you, Miz Megan, for joining me for this field trip. I hope Mike likes his dapper gift.

Um, have I mentioned that I love my cat necklace and I can't wait to surprise everyone with it one day at work or a night out with friends. It is coming soon. PS-the pendant is starting to freak the cat out.
