After nearly five years on First Avenue, jewelry designer Lisa Linhardt is moving her showcase to Nolita.
A sign on the window of Linhardt Gallery, at 156 First Avenue, indicates the by-appointment shop will close April 1 and move to 211 Mott Street, between Prince and Spring Streets.
“We are truly humbled by all the great exposure the East Village has given us — with our jewelry adorning the covers of magazines such as Elle and Vogue, to celebrities wearing Linhardt pieces, such as Alicia Keys, Gisele Bundchen and Jennifer Lopez,” reads the goodbye message.
The designer specializes in jewelry made from recycled precious metals and organic stones, including a $140 “Loisaida” bracelet. “An ‘insider’ term — this is the neighborhood that Linhardt resides in – and we wear our ‘Loisaida’ with pride,” reads a description of the item.
Not anymore: the Nolita store’s opening party is April 12.
