Where to get high end jewelry magazines in NYC

February 27, 2008 5:34 AM

I need those expensive, imported jewelry magazines. Where do I get them in NYC?

I have googled over and over, but I keep getting those crafty beading jewelry magazines. What I need are high end, real jewelry publications like Vogue Gioiello, Vicenzaoro or Schmuck.

Are there any specialised bookstores in New York where I could buy these magazines individually? I don't want to commit to a yearly subscription.

Alternatively, a place outside New York where I could get them by phone or online would be ok too.

When I used to need international magazines for projects in college, the place to go was Universal News at 11 West 14th Street. I can't speak specifically to jewelry magazines but the selection there was always pretty impressive on all other topics. It's pretty convenient to many trains (not far west of Union Square) so it's worth a try.

There's also a really good, large, international news place on Broadway south of Broome. Haven't been there in two or three years, though.

There's a big, comprehensive magazine store on the south side of Bryant Park (I can't remember if that's 40th or 41st street). Might be worth a try.

I'll second the store on the south of Bryant Park--it targets the fashion industry & has a number of magazines you're not likely to find elsewhere. You might also want to try magazine stores & stands on/near 7th & 8th in the Fashion District, around FIT & Parsons.

Univeral News on 23rd between 5th and 6th has pretty much everything you could every imagine.
