Vladimir's Collections

Vladamir was very kind to fix a simple piece of jewelry of mine for free! His store is an interesting mix of Russian cultural pieces and hand made art and jewelry. Lots of cool matryoshka doll sets. Will return when I have more time to shop around.

In business for over four decades, this little gem has a nice inventory of products for sale. Coins, paintings, religious artifacts, statues, and much, much more...
There is plenty of parking nearby, including handicapped, and is centrally located in downtown Saint Petersburg; lots of shops and food places nearby, including museums, five star hotels and Beach Drive restaurants..

Such a fun store with all sorts of unique items. Vladimir is wonderful and the jewelry he creates is stunning!! I got myself a ring today made by Vladimir :)

As a person of Russian decent this store is a wonderland. Most stuff is cheaply made, but there is definitely unique relics hidden in there. I collect military airborne pins because I was a paratrooper in the 82nd. The owner was a CPT in the Soviet Army which is sort of cool. Heads up, there is a metric ton of communist propaganda and items in this store.

Beautiful store with lots of handmade, authentic artistic gifts and jewelry. Especially loved the unique jewelry handmade by the artist/owner of the store! Can’t wait to be back for holiday shopping!

Best gallery of Russian art, jewelry and crafts in the United States! If you would like to or need to buy a memorable and beautiful gift or decor - this is the place to visit! World renowned artist-jeweler Vladimir Malkin designs, makes and sells his art in his gallery 😍

Lovely place. They should not be so afraid to hang a Russian flag outside though. It is a Russian store and they should have a Russian flag, to be more authentic. A Ukrainian flag seems odd. The political nonsense needs to stop.

Awesome place, and please go show some love and support this local small business, especially during this time when Russians are being discriminated against (which is WRONG). So I think it's important to help Russian businesses extra right now. I've been visiting here for years and they have just beautiful pieces and all kinds of variety old and new! Wonderful for gift giving or something interesting for your display shelf. I do wish they would return the Russian flag above the door (I thought it was odd to put an American flag... Hopefully they do not do that again. It should be a Russian flag, because it is a Russian store! More authentic. I hope Vladimir reads this) 😁

I looked into some souvenirs and found some great historical footprints.

Don't miss the opportunity to get to know Vladimir and the history of everything he has in the shop including the custom jewelry he designs himself. This is a gem of a shop 💎

I never had a chance to go into Vladimir's. I did today..it is the most amazing shop and he is an incredible designer. Someone said earlier in a review I wish we had something like this in San Francisco...agreed. An internationally well known designer. And a shop where you really don't want to leave because there are so many beautiful things to look at.

I have a sterling silver charoite necklace from Vladimir’s Collections. In a world of big box superstores replete with all their Made in China wares, it is so wonderful to enter this shop. The shop is a feast for the eyes with quality, unique jewelry and artisan products.

Authentic Russian souvenirs and collections, something for every age and taste, enjoyed seeing toys I grew up with! Highly recommend to visit.

This is absolutely amazing place to visit. We called it Little Russia. Shop located in the heart of lovely St.Petersburg Florida. After visiting Dali museum we went to Vladimir Collection.There is soooo much to see and buy over there!!! How the owners manage to keep everything it this museum so nice and neat on the shelves and more important the quality and quantity??? Unbelievable! We talk to the owners and found out, that Vladimir is a famous Jewelry Designer, his master work located in the central case .Silver and natural stones and enamel looks very intricate, unique. There is sections in the windows with adorable work of his son as well. I think its a couple of thousands pieces in the store! Vladimirs lovely wife Galina help us to find souvenirs. I forgot to mention about lovely Russian music. Its easy to spend hours in this lovely place,so worth it! Next time we travel to Sarasota or St. Pete definitely go to visit!. 5 STARS!

Soviet nostalgia meets fine art. Tons of fun things to play with and souvenirs to shop for.

We had driven by Vladimir’s store several times, but really became interested when read about it in the Tampa Bay Times. The Times revealed that Vladimir is a Russian-born jewelry designer from Moscow and has won numerous awards from several countries.

His own jewelry is quite unique, and we’ve purchased matching gemstone earrings, necklaces, and rings at reasonable prices. They were far and away the best value I’ve ever seen in jewelry (think outrageously expensive) jewelry stores. In addition, there is also jewelry by a number of Russian artists and many, many souvenir items.

His wife, Galina, handles the front desk and was very pleasant and helpful when we made our purchases. My wife loves all of them and for sure we'll be going back again.

Vladimir's store is a "jewel" in downtown St. Petersburg. It sells hand-made souvenirs, pottery, jewelry and various trinkets. Most of the items are made in Russia. Selected pieces are designed and created by the store's owner, Vladimir and his son - a talented artist living in Orlando. I can always find unique presents for any occasion. Don't miss it and don't let the owner's Russian culture and behavior discourage you from seeing what this distinctive store has to offer. (In response to Karen F....most Russians are not small talkers, nor are they used to being outwardly or overly expressive...) Check it out as it's like no other store in the area.

Really neat selection worth perusing. I came home with a few little Christmas ornaments that I’m very excited about. Large variety of pricing, so that makes for good gifts of all kinds. Some neat historical pieces as well.

Cool place but sometimes I catch my glass figure moving by itself

When I recently visited “Vladimir’s Collection”, I was surprised by the artistic quality of jewelry and craft presented.

From the chat with an owner, I got to know, that he is an artist and a former Creative Art Director of The Russian Art Foundation, and that he makes contemporary design jewelry by himself.
At the same time, according to his professional taste, displays of "Vladimir's Collection" are an example of phenomenally outstanding jewelry creations and unique masterpieces in the best traditions of Russian Art and History. That is why Vladimir’s Collection looks like a Museum. Definitely will be back.
