What makes it a Rhody Gem?

“We opened the doors at the end of the pandemic, not knowing what to expect, with the hope to provide a vibrant space for the artists to showcase their work,” says co-op co-founder Neringa Lamauskaite. Now, more than four years later, the shop features the ever-changing works of nearly three dozen artisans, all from Rhode Island. “It’s all handcrafted, unique, and made with love here in our little Ocean State,” says Lamauskaite. “We have jewelry, apparel, home decor, original paintings, fine art prints, wood turning, resin art, pottery, and much more.” The shop is run by the artists, in rotating fashion, so you will always meet one of them behind the counter, something regular patrons look forward to. Visitors can discover the stories behind their work or commission a custom, one-of-a-kind piece. It is a perfect destination for finding unique, meaningful gifts, all Lil’ Rhody-inspired.
