This treasure sat idle
In 2016, we made a big move across Main Street, expanding Richter & Phillips Jewelers almost fourfold. Upstairs, our spacious new showroom opened up opportunities to host fundraisers for cherished organizations like Dragonfly and Cincinnati Children's Hospital and to bring the community together at events such as our highly anticipated holiday event, Whiskey & Watches.
But there's more to our new location at the corner of 6th & Main than just space. A hidden gem is tucked away at the bottom of a stunning white marble stairwell: a 1920s bank vault complete with its original iron door—a little-known treasure that adds a touch of historical intrigue to our modern home.
reimagined & repurposed
Historic Bank Vault
Shimmering with deco detailing, cloaked in jewel tones and rich velvet, The Vault is a unique, free space to mingle underneath the city. The Vault itself is stocked with a miniature beverage fridge tucked underneath a marble top bar. Sparkling glassware shimmers against a wood grained, blue and gold wallpaper opposite a grid of historic Richter & Phillips catalog memorabilia from the midst of the 1920s.
The Space
The Vault is a versatile space that can be used for a variety of events, such as non-profit planning sessions, presentations, book clubs, and cocktail hours. The space is open to your creativity, and we can accommodate up to 8 people for seated events inside the vault, or up to 20 people for casual gatherings. Your guests' comfort is our priority, and we are happy to show you the space so you can decide if it suits your needs.

As we excitedly expand our showroom, The Vault is taking a short intermission.
