I love this jewelry store. Always a great selection of incredible and one of a kind pieces. I could spend hours just to see everything. Then I choose my favorites for trip that day purchase and take with to add to my collection that I already have from all prior trips to my favorite store. Prices are great and my husband is very excited when I come home and still have money in my purse. Joking.. well kinda...he is happy when I still have money left. The owner is super cool and always helpful and informative regarding jewelry. I like that and then have a little background on what I have. As much as I would like to keep all these treasures for myself it would not be fair to everyone to get some treasures themselves so I highly recommend EVERYONE to stop by and get started on their collection too. Like I said it's my favorite store and very likely will be many of your favorites too.

I’m a fan for over 20 years. The best place to shop for gifts for everyone, especially yourself as a way to alleviate covid blues and as a way to support local artisans without breaking the bank. This never has been the store where you’ve seen it all in all the other stores. Tantau has a very discerning eye and excellent taste. And she was the first person in the world to see the value of recycling typewriter keys for jewelry. Of course, there always has been a highly intelligent cat in charge of the place, so there’s that. As Stefan would say, this place has everything - a perfectly brilliant shop, safely away from crowds, with a neighboring place to eat, that cat, and all the cheering up you could ask for.

  • Leslie Pruitt

Spend all the time you want in a calm, wonderful space, where each item offers a different idea, background, laugh, and view of the world. Take your time and just look to feed your eyes, ask Carol questions and she will answer, delighted by your interest, rather than annoyed at an interruption. Go outside and grab a bite to eat or sit on her welcoming entry courtyard, then come in and find that one thing you've been looking for, the special one that you didn't even know you had to have. You will come back to again. Meeting Ricky is an extra treat.

Looking for a beautiful gift for yourself or someone else that you can’t find just anywhere? Do you like supporting small, independent artists and artisans? How about woman-owned businesses? Yes? Well, you’re gonna love Just Tantau. Carol has interesting, wonderful items for any budget, from all over the world. I’ve never left there empty- handed.

  • Lauren Haze

Just Tantau is a refreshing gem in LA! I’ve shopped there since she was in Venice. Unique vintage pieces coupled with new jewelry and creative designs, make it hard not to loose your sense of time. I often feel like I’m in another world rich with color, culture and always great conversation with Carol and whomever else might be there...✨

  • Tulis McCall

I have been a client of Just Tantau since waaaaay back when. Carol is a one of a kind person. Her store reflects her unique taste as well as her demand for quality merchandise. Visiting there is a little like coming to a home you didn't know you had, and you get to take a treasure away with you. It is absolutely worth a visit. I guarantee.

  • Eileen Erickson

I've been coming to Just Tantau for too many years to count, from before their Abbot Kinney location. The new location in the West Adams area feels just like "old Venice," and the store is as delightful as ever! Carol always manages to find the best artists, and she also create jewelry that is both clever and beautiful! Not to be missed!

  • Stephanie Kellogg

An eclectic assortment of fun and interesting accessories, and an awesome cat. The location itself is fun to visit if you’re around. They might have something to your tastes, or they might not, but either way it’s worth taking a look around. They have a little bit of everything, from funky chunky jewelry to minimalist style.

  • Karen Keating

Most amazing gift store on the planet. Carol Tantau is a treasure. If you are in Los Angeles, I urge you to stop by to meet Carol. She knows about jewelry, beads, and all other things eclectic. The typewriter key jewelry is my favorite. Your bucket list is not complete unless you visit Just Tantau!

  • Lauren Hellman

Friendly, knowledgeable and fun owner of a charming shop filled with treasures. Each piece is special and unique, just waiting to be discovered, loved and enjoyed for years to come. Or bring your own loved beads for help reimagining them with guidance and help in a comfortable atmosphere.

  • Toni Silverman

Just Tantau has an amazing assortment of handmade jewelry by local and not so local artisans. If you are shopping for something unusal or unique this is the place. Spend sometime with Carol and Ricky, she's a designer and Ricky is a cool cat.

  • Miss Queena

This place has moved to west adams just east of fairfax. So much more spacious and creative with the new shop, and cool list of activities scheduled there during the week. The typewriter jewelry would make great gifts for both him and her.

  • Trina Kaye

Well curated, Unique one of a kind jewelry! Best of all, on Sundays she'll help you fix or repurpose those necklaces and earrings and other pieces you stopped wearing because something broke.

  • Lyn Southworth

A unique jewel of a store. The only place I know where the artist/owner, Carol, will help you repair and reconfigure the pieces you have as well as tempt you with new creations.

This place is a hidden gem and a very unique shop, if you are looking for unique and handmade jewelry and other accessories. Don't forget to say hi to Ricky the cat while there
