We're 98% made right here in Manhattan. Showcasing local talent is our way of keeping locally based fabricators alive and kicking while supporting local designers.
We host only twelve designers in the shop so each has enough room to strut their stuff. We carry our own Ancient Artisans collection of museum replica jewelry and our friends make the fashion.
Lastly we sell vintage lockets of most...
The Shape of Lies started in 1979 and is now one of the last Mom & Pop stores in the East Village. We specialize in local jewelry designers and our own line of Ancient Artisan Museum Jewelry including Claddagh rings and Historic Irish jewelry. We live right in the shop so all our neighbors know you can rattle the gate when you have a gifting emergency.
