Sun Wind

Still open for business! Despite the sign, the hours are usually 3 – 9 pm, depending on the weather & customers. A great store!

This has been my jewelry shop for several years. People are always commenting about how much they love my rings or bracelets and I always refer them to this shop. The woman who runs this shop is incredibly knowledgeable in the meanings and significance of different stones and religious iconography. However, if she doesn’t know the meaning off the top of her head, she always has books on hand for you to read about the pieces that you are purchasing. This place is truly a gem in itself.

The shopkeeper was so wonderful! Very kind, helpful, and even stayed late to ensure her customers received what they need. So grateful! A nice find in NYC!

A beautiful woman with beautiful things — visit and speak with her and you will leave with a lighted path … Mainstream spirituality :)

I loved this little shop! On a recent visit to NYC, I stumbled upon this place… and like others… was drawn in because of the fascinating jewelry displays in the window. The owner was like a new BFF… just SO lovely a person and I ended up staying and purchasing more than I would have guessed. Great store and owner! I hope to return!

This has been my jewelry store for the past 8 years!!! The owner is this super wise, down to earth lady who will talk to you about anything. She’s so knowlegeable about stones, give great recommendations, always explain meanings behind different stones. I would go there just to chat with her. She’s got the coolest stuff from wherever, mostly natural stuff handmade. I am not kidding when I say half of my jewelry came from this place, because you will not find her stuff anywhere else, and while you are there, ask her to read your palm, you’ll be surprised!!!
The store is cluttered with different stuff, but when you find something you love, it’s like discovering treasure!

While waiting to meet a friend around the corner, I was lured in by the collection of curios in the window display at Sun Wind. The seduction got the better of me, and I stepped inside to find a myriad of authentic, handcrafted jewelry from Tibet, India, Turkey and other equally fascinating regions of the world.
The lovely shopkeeper was very knowledgeable about the various types of jewelry and their history, symbols, and significance. She also offers unique, reworked, more contemporary pieces of her own, which still incorporate the intricate, traditional aesthetic of the originals.
Behind the counter, the owner keeps a mini library of books featuring details and images of indigenous, tribal jewelry. A flip through the pages and you will recognize some of the pieces hanging right before your eyes.
I could easily spend hours perusing all of the enchanting accessories, playing dress up, and learning eastern history as told through stones, metal, and designs.
