I remember first seeing the glass-eye rings many years ago in that store, and several years later, when I lost a crown from one of my molars, I had Al make a ring out of it for me. <br /><br />Their entire team has been so wonderful over the years, I'm going to miss them a lot. When I first saw that they were moving to this block of East 9th street, I thought it was a dream come true. Alas, my jewelry budget has shrunk over the years and I wasn't able to buy all the stuff I craved there. <br /><br />I recommend that anybody who's interested follow them on Instagram; that's where I first heard about the closing and tomorrow's party.Scuba Divahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10326884503725331349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-54478524060705704042014-08-22T18:57:58.370-04:002014-08-22T18:57:58.370-04:00Discovered the original shop when I was working ar...Discovered the original shop when I was working around the corner from MacDougal St and wandered in on a break one day. It was small, old, cool and had AMAZING silver. A bit much for my pocket at the time but had a repair or two done to support them. After they moved I would pop in to say hello and check out the pieces. I finally had to stretch my budget when I found out that they were going to close. Alfred is such a gentleman and artist/silversmith - I truly wish you the very best with your new business. As I have said before, I cherish the skull ring and the history it has from your family's business. Best wishes and we will see each other in the future for more purchases. Much respect, Alfred IIIScoobynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-30347350080107580962014-08-22T15:58:55.604-04:002014-08-22T15:58:55.604-04:00No surprise - they were small, quirky, local, hist...No surprise - they were small, quirky, local, historic, and friendly; can't have that in the new shiny New York that is being installed in place of gritty old Noo Yawk.Gojiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-80393518469981325392014-08-22T15:44:48.229-04:002014-08-22T15:44:48.229-04:00Oh well.Oh well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-913295498796761622014-08-22T14:11:03.662-04:002014-08-22T14:11:03.662-04:00Quel dommage.Quel dommage.2:10 p.m.noreply@blogger.com
