After several decades in business, Lori McLean will close her eponymous jewelry shop at 207 Avenue A, between 12th Street and 13th Street, this month.
"I'm ready for change," McLean told EVG after all the years running a storefront.
McLean moved from the West Village to East 11th Street in 2015 following a rent increase. She was on the move again in 2020 when that lease was up, relocating to Avenue A.
"My landlord is great and really saved us during the COVID shutdown," she said of 207 Avenue A, which will be available to rent in May. (The space was previously home to Obscura Antiques and Oddities.)
This Saturday, there's a closing party at the shop from 4 to 8 p.m. — wine, cheese, and 50% off any remaining jewelry.
And after that?
"I'm taking the summer off and will then do custom work for people," she said, noting to keep an eye on her website for updates.

I hadn't thought of Obscura in forever. They were on 10th Street forever and then moved over to Ave A. They had some spectacular stuff but a bit pricey at least for me back then. Super nice people. My god the world and the neighborhood have changed since then, huh? xo, jg
