Travel + Leisure Calls HART a Charleston Must-Visit

Travel + Leisure's editor in chief Jacqui Gifford (also, a Babe in HART) put together nine Charleston boutiques worth planning a trip around. HART made the list.

Custom jewelry is the core of what we do. Start with a chain, a cord, a gemstone necklace. Add the charms and talismans that mean something: luck, protection, love, empowerment. Work one-on-one with a stylist to build something that's entirely yours. Then keep going. Mix, match, restyle. A jewelry wardrobe is never finished.

What really caught her eye was our Ribbed Vesta Case—a hallow piece built for carrying a mantra, a lucky coin, whatever you want to keep close—popularized in the 1800s and named after the goddess of the hearth, originally intended to hold matches, a necessity before household electricity.

She called founder Hart Hagerty "infectiously energetic," which tracks. The shop itself she described as sleek and warehouse-like. Also tracks.

If you're headed to Charleston for your next getaway, stop by. Build a stack, or start with one charm and see where it goes.
