Shape of Lies unique 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!

If you are in New York City do visit our shop we always enjoy meeting our on line friends.

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. Vintage beads also adorn our brilliant deco glass necklaces - a colorful high note in any season.

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!

ANCIENT ARTISANS® is the registered name for our museum jewelry line, 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.
