Jillery

Sitting coyly below the storefronts along 10th street, is the purple and pink painted Jillery. Although slight in size, Jillery’s selection is endless with wall-to-wall jewelry, handmade gifts and vintage accessories.

The store is named after Jill Fagin, an NYU graduate who sold jewelry out of her apartment to make ends meet. After her unique creations graced the pages of Women’s Wear Daily, her aluminum beaded jewelry and housewares were all over New York’s most fabulous galleries and stores. A door in the back of the Greenwich Village location leads to the studio where skilled artisans work on original designs that ship to stores all across the country.

Jillery is best for gifts for any occasion. Everything designed by Jill has her signature beading and whimsical wire designs customized to your specifications. If your summer is full of weddings, baby showers, or rooftop 21st birthday barbeques, there’s everything baby to bridal! Her designs include personalized picture frames, a whole line of Judaica, charming housewares, barware, and of course jewelry. The friendly staff will be on hand to help you and there’s a great selection in store, so if you need something for a forgotten birthday or housewarming, you’ll be in luck!

Besides Jill’s designs, there is a great pick of vintage accessories including handbags, belt buckles and jewelry. The store also features independent designers like the beautiful chunky 18K gold-plated rings by Brazilian jewelry designer Simone.

One of the best things about the selection is that there’s something for every price range and every style. The frequent sales and will keep you stopping by the store often. Right now, there’s a sale on some of Jillery’s handmade housewares and vintage belts! I picked up a wine caddy for half off – for research of course!
