In 2021, Pistachios made the decision to run virtually, closing the downtown location until a new space was found. A two person team, Jessica and Isabella ran all operations at Pistachios. From exhibition curation to website upkeep and customer relations, they know the attention and care it takes to run a small business.
In November of 2021, Pistachio's opened it's current location at 716 N Wabash ave. The new brick and mortar is only 5 short blocks from the old location and has twice the amount of space. When you use our website chat option, text us, or contact us in any way its always one of our team members that answers.
Since then, we've been able to expand into the world of Permanent Jewelry with 'LOOPED' Permanent Jewelry at Pistachios.
We couldn't be happier here at our new location and can't wait for you to step foot in this space for the first time. The difference is breath taking.

We are always working to make sure Pistachios runs smoothly and that our customers have the best experience possible. This is a candid picture from a photo shoot with David Steinberg of Jessica and Isabella consulting with a client while on the shoot!
"We just want our clients to know that we care about them finding the right piece of jewelry for them, and that requires a lot of attention and care. But we don't mind, we love what we do!" |
