the Shape of lies

Fine Hand crafted Jewelry

 

THE SHAPE OF LIES  store opened it's doors in the East Village of New York City in 1979.  We are one of the only Mom & Pop residential stores left in New York's East Village.  We can boast both an original tin ceiling and a screen door!  As our neighbors know; when the lights on you can always knock for gifting emergencies....we live in back

When you visit you’ll find items inspired by a fascination with useful gadgetry. For example, brooch pins designed to hold your reading glasses and 1840’s style Victorian spine bookmarks graced with uncommon and richly colored European glass beads, making for thoughtful and impressive gifts.

In addition The Shape of Lies has it's own line of  museum jewelry, dedicated to reviving archetypal symbols and images created by artisans throughout the ages.   These diminutive works of wearable art have become sought-after by shoppers seeking unusual items of intellectual and spiritual value.

In 2006 we added local designers, mixing it up has been lots of fun.  The only rule is that the designers be truly local and make all of their jewelry in the New York metropolitan area.

Finally in 2009 we did a 190 turn back to our roots as artists.  The long wall has been cleared away and now Ladd and I have our own personal art gallery to present our paintings. 

We hope our jewelry excites your imagination and look forward to hearing from you or seeing you in the shop. When you visit we will be more than happy tell you a little local history and recommend some yummy neighborhood eateries. Remember half the fun of “Shopping” the East Village is “Eating” the East Village!
