They carry apparel brand Rhett by Rhett Eala and SC Vizcarra bags and leather goods as well.

Recently, Nest gathered like-minded people in the realm of design to promote entrepreneurship and mounted a pop-up in its store on Jupiter Street. A curated group of retailers showcased their products to a steady stream of customers.

One of the retailers was C Jewelry, a line of finely crafted precious and semi-precious stones set in 18K gold. Making its debut during the pop-up, the line will be available at the shop next month.

The Pop-Up at Nest was a successful event for both the retailers and customers. The group promises to mount a second one in October.
