Hottie

I love coming here to shop for jewelry. They have whatever you can possibly want here. They legit have EVERYTHING. It might be a bit daunting to come here because of the large selection, but that’s not really an actual problem.
It’s owned by Koreans and sometimes they have their cute little dog sitting in the back, who I always pet and play with. The owners keep a watchful eye on everyone and everything that goes on, which can be a little daunting, but it makes sense since the jewelry is out in the open and easily steal-​able.
The prices ARE sort of expensive, especially if you compare them to prices for anything in the rest of the neighborhood.
I’d definitely come here if you’re looking for a very specific piece of jewelry. I’m sure they’ll have it here.

Overall this place has cute jewelry to choose from. Some are tacky, but most are pretty cute. For a small store they have a big selection of jewelry. They also sell some cute headbands.
Yeah, sure it might be pricey, but I don’t blame them. Their rent is probably ridiculously high so they have to stay in business somehow.
One thing I disliked about this place was that the owner kept watching me and my friend till we left the store. It made me feel really uncomfortable.
I would most likely go back here the next time I’m in St. Mark’s.

I agree with the recent reviewer! Cuz look at how clean that store looks like. An the price it is really reasonable I saw a ring at bloomingdales that sold for $ 32 then went to hottie and found the same ring for $ 20 yea yea it’s like 20 dollars but stores like this have unique, fun, and decent quality accessories at decent prices plus the sales people there are quite friendly so nothing to hate on them that much

Plastic jewelry for Swarovski-​value prices? No way. But yes, really, in Hottie. These accessories are pure Japanese-​fob style. Straight from Japan, I hope. Nevertheless, at least they don’t sell plastic jewelry for more than 20 bucks in Japan. While I was able to control my resistance for these cute little overpriced «things», it became very clear to me that Hottie was trying to make a very large amount of profit, that very moment when I saw a simple $ 50 plastic necklace.

They have so much cute things to look at. I can spend whole day look around. I bought a ring under 10 dollars few months ago, it still didn’t turn out the color. Compare to the quality of the jewelries, the price is reasonable.

There were loads of cute things here. Earrings, Bangles, etc. Very cute.
It was pretty expensive though – especially for fake jewelery – especially on St. Marks. 12 dollars for an alice band? NO WAY
The staff was really friendly and funny and gave me a cough drop when I couldn’t stop coughing. That’s worth another star.

If anybody has been to «Girl Props» on Prince Street, this store is very similar… but not as good. They have some cool accessories with novelty pendants. I really wanted to buy some earings with plastic cigarettes on them. They also have lots of cool suspenders, ties, belt chains?, and hair stuff. My criticisms are that this place is fairly expensive and I felt like I was being watched like a hawk by the employees as I browsed.

I returned back to the store a few days ago. The place was pretty much the same, and the cashier was still there from last time. I bought a cute bowtie there for $ 13 (which I thought could have been cheaper, but was still a decent buy nonetheless). I messed up again, while paying, and the cashier remembered me and chuckled saying that I was very funny. It’s nice to know that the owner has a sense of humor.

overpriced cheap crap. $ 50 for a cheap necklace you can get at Forever 21/​on the street/​basically anywhere else for $ 5? Just pickpocket me and take my wallet!

A boutique jewelry and accessories store that sits on St. Mark’s Place. Small yet very organized with merchandise of employees that mainly Korean as they speak English very, very poorly. I wanted to pay $.56 in cash and the balance of $ 31.00 on credit card which the entire balance was slapped on my credit card!
Over-​priced for costume jewelry and including sterling silver.

Pros:
— Cute jewelry.
— Nice area for you to take a tourist visiting you from out of town.
Cons:
— Expensive for jewelry that’s fake.
— $ 50 for a fake necklace?

My Experience:
It’s a small little store that sells jewelry and accessories. They have a cute selection but some are a little overpriced considering it’s all fake jewelry. I saw some necklaces priced between $ 30 – 50 which is way too expensive for fake jewelry.
But if you’re a tourist, it’s a good spot to hit to bring stuff back home for souvenir gifts.

Like the other reviewers… I agree! It is cheap jewelry and some is way overpriced. I went there just to look and was about to buy something, but didn’t. I felt like the sales people were following me all over the store… and was annoying.

Hottie? Hmm, I dunno about that. A store full of useless crappy jewelry, yeah, that sounds more like it.
Not to hate on this place, but these stores are a dime a dozen. Go to Chinatown, go to St. Mark’s to the vendor booths and it’s all the same damn thing. The only difference and believe me, I will give an extra star for this is that this store has ac that cranks and on a hot NY day, I’ll take it!

For one, it’s horrendously PINK. I’m not a pink-​hater, but really, the sign with the huge heart is overkill. I bet it scares half its potential customers away. The stuff is kind of… average. There’s a huge variety but nothing struck me as particularly pretty. They were also quite expensive… I could get a similar selection at Forever21 for much less, I bet.

it’s a new /​clean /​neat Jewelry store with huge pink heart between yakitori places.
not only rings and earrings, but also hair accessories and belts!
I bet the owner is a Korean.
cuz I can still recognize Korean Pop songs through the speakers, even I don’t listen to them at all. I made my Korean brain to filter them clearly!
it’s not that hot like the store name, but worth to visit if in Astor Place.
who knows? you can be a HOTTIE like K-​pop singers or Dora?
