Shape of Lies – LOST GEM
Established: 1979
An interesting name for an interesting place, indeed, as there is no singular theme running through this store. Although there is an emphasis on both classic and contemporary jewelry, Peggy Yunque, the owner, showcases the talents of local artisans and displays her own artwork in the form of paintings and jewelry. Ms. Yunque thoroughly enjoys chatting with her customers and sharing some of her fascinating stories that she has amassed over the thirty-three years that she has been at this same location. She was proud to tell us that she has “sold her stuff to the New York Public Library and various museums.”
