Abacus Row

I Love Abacus Row! The shop is such a gorgeous space. They not only sell their own jewelry, but a lovely curation of other jewelry and things like stationary, ceramics, tea, and more. It's a great place to find a gift. I also love Abacus Row's limited edition drops–they are always so pretty. I have a couple of their pieces and I always want to show them off to everyone–they are so sparkly, I love them so much. This is also a wonderful community space. The owner, Christine, and the employees are all super nice and they host fun pop-ups at the shop, as well as weekly gatherings for casual conversation practice in Cantonese and Vietnamese. I love visiting the shop every chance I get!

I love Abacus Row - it's felt like a friend for the past decade, since we crossed paths at a Fort Mason Craft Fair. They've evolved and grown so much, in the best ways, over the years. Their pieces have easily been my go-tos for work, socializing, gifting, and just day to day wear. I've never gone wrong with any purchase. Each one is crafted with care, love, and meticulous detail. They're made to last and to love. My most recent acquisitions, the Omoi Bracelet and Shooting Star Earrings, bring me SO much joy - I feel giddy putting them on! You can literally wear anything Abacus Row anywhere, including at home. Christine has always been so kind and thoughtful, and she curates the absolute best for her shop. Her designs are one-of-a-kind; they span from elegant and timeless to sweet and nostalgic. There's something for everyone, including products specially featured from other designers. Every time I walk in, I know that she and her team (who are so warm and friendly) will help me find exactly the right thing for me, and they do the same for every guest. Check out the shop in person if you can! It's BEAUTIFULLY laid out, and such a gorgeous and bright space. They also have such fun events and pop-ups! Abacus Row is truly a neighborhood hub, and will always be a personal fave <3

I was first introduced to Christine and Abacus Row by a friend. The AR brand jewelry is lovely and now my “go-to” for every day wear and special occasions alike. The store is beautifully curated with Christine’s designer eye and attention to detail. Over time, the store has become a gathering place and a community hub. I have made so many friends there as a result. I love Christine’s commitment to the AAPI community and how she showcases diverse talent and various objects. The entire staff are warm, welcoming, and highly knowledgeable about everything in the store. I highly recommend this place whether you are a visitor or a local looking to make new connections!

My first time ever at Abacus Row was during their Lunar New Year pop-up in 2020 and it's been an annual tradition I look forward, from grabbing the lucky mandarins & pomelos and shopping the latest special LNY collection. Christine is the best & has become a friend over the years because that's just the type of place this is, a neighborhood spot that accumulates shop regulars. Beyond just Abacus Row's beautiful jewelry line (I have 5+ pieces in my collection and their bracelets are my go-to for gift giving!)...it's been a central space for community, I love the offerings of various pop-ups, Tiếng Việt by Night (thanks Tiff for cultivating this Vietnamese gathering), and Mason Street & Friends...so much more. I love the eye for curated goods from makers all over and the store is impeccably beautiful, I mean just look at this shop's vibe during golden hour in these photos :)

Such a gorgeous shop with the friendliest staffs! My interaction with abacus row was both as a pop up vendor and as a customer. The entire interaction since the beginning has been so pleasant. Popup was well organized and staff was very helpful and accommodating. Abacus row was an amazing and generous host! As a customer, I appreciated the friendly and patient staff giving me a quick tour as it was my first time, then giving me enough space to roam on my own. They even offered me a cup of freshly brewed oolong tea as I looked around.
