You know the type. Fakes naïveté with batted lashes, coos while calculating your every move, laughs as she wraps your spineless body around her manicured pinky.

She: charming, wild, unpredictable. You: intrigued, enamored, obsessed — even with her fits of rage, which result in broken hearts/china/strands of pearls (that you gave her).

You beg forgiveness and take the strand (an heirloom from Nana) to Raquel, the old-school Brazilian jeweler who can restring anything.

You think it can’t be repaired (the relationship or the jewelry), but Raquel has been fixing bespoke baubles, prized possessions, and jewelry box junk for loyal patrons (city icons and celebs included) for 33 years.

You pick up a vintage gem as a peace offering, something Raquel refurbished (she gives you the charming backstory).

You can’t help how she makes you feel. You go back to her. (The girl and the jeweler.)

Precisely because she can string you along.

Raquel Jewelry, 25 Lexington Avenue, between 23rd and 24th Streets (212-677-3388). By appointment only.
