Established: 1960s
Maybe The Silversmith is the smallest space in existence in the Village, but Ruth Kuzub’s longevity far outranks most shops on West 4th Street. She began selling her jewelry here in the 1960’s, and has remained ever since. “I wouldn’t be anywhere else, I just always wished I had a few more square feet.” And after interviewing her for well over an hour, we would say that no one in the village would ever want her to leave. Everyone adores her, as did we.
