In Short – The blocks that intersect at Eighth and Sansom have a fair claim to the title of Philadelphia's glitziest spot--there's more diamonds per square foot than a post-Oscar party. Jewelry stores squeeze into every available space, both above and below street level, ranging from tiny family businesses that handcraft every piece to shiny, spacious showrooms full of the latest designer wares. Along this brilliant block stroll cash-flashing businessmen, mink-clad society ladies, couples picking engagement rings and women of all ages wistfully gazing into store windows.
