Romeo's Gifts Inc — Local services in City of Albany

I wish I could say the same about The Blue White Rainbow, which was on the other side of the street, and also had lots of cool...

I have been shopping at Romeo's Gifts since I first moved to Albany, NY at age of 26. I am now going on 52 and still shop there. Mr. Joe Romeo, the owner of Romeo's is a staple of the Lark Street Community. He is very knowledgeable of the fine jewelry that he offers ( at very reasonable prices for REAL silver) and this prices are affordable. There is something for everyone there!
