I've lived in Manhattan for my entire life, and somehow I've managed to miss The Shape of Lies, a tiny jewel box on 127 East 7th Street, even though it's been open for thirty years.  The owner, lives in the back of the store with her husband, and makes many of the pieces she sells on a jeweler's bench that sits right behind the cash wrap.  It's incredible to stumble upon the space, which seems like the last standing relic of the era of Mom and Pop stores, which once dominated the the East Village...

Every time I put my necklace on I think of you and your wonderful store, and I keep telling as many people as I can.

The ring was great, she loved it.  She gets compliments on it everywhere she goes.

Great work!

Hi Peggy,

I just wanted to thank you again for the great work you did on the necklace.  My girlfriend loves it and hasn't taken it off since her birthday!

Take care, Jesse

Dear Peggy,

I am grateful once upon a time and happenstance I found myself standing in front of your window, curious enough to walk into The Shape of Lies.  I wear your creations with pride - even people who never commented on my jewelry do so now!  That is an extreme compliment to, well, both of us don't you agree!"

Whether I'm ferreting out top talent for clients, or finding hidden shops in Manhattan I love to land on a needle in a haystack like The Shape of Lies.

The shop on East 7th or their web site are my go to, reliable sources for unusual jewelry for gifts or for me.

Everyone compliments me on my Greek earrings, I am wearing them as I type.
