Piper Lillies

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD OR SILVER!
Piper Lillies is a cute little gift shop located on Jones Bridge Rd in the CVS shopping center at the corner of Jones Bridge and Abbotts Bridge Rd. I have passed by the shop several times but today I decided to go inside. They have a great selection of jewelry, (gold and silver-​plated and stones), cIoth bags and bags with leather trim, silver-​plated serving dishes and great gifts for newlyweds, beautiful picnic baskets, food items and more. The tables that feature food items (crackers, dip, popcorn), also have samples available. So, if you like to snack and shop, this may be your new «go to» spot!
They have a really nice collection of Jewelry by Spanish designer Elisa Ilana. The line is Uno de 50 and while it has beautifully creative pieces that are priced like sterling silver, it is not sterling silver, but a silver-​plated resin.
This may not matter to you but it does matter to me, especially since I was told that it is sterling silver by a sales person. I noticed that it had a very dull finish and did not have the 925 markings that should be on every piece of sterling silver. I decided that I needed to investigate to determine the type of material used so I visited the company website. Nailed it! The base material is actually resin. This is basically costume jewelry of a higher quality. There were several really unique pieces that would make great gifts for the jewelry lover. (Just verify that the person in question likes costume jewelry first, because not everyone does no matter how cute or cool the pieces are).
Everything in this store is nicely staged and presented. However, I do wish that they had a better selection of quality greeting cards. If you wander far enough, you will wander into the salon next door which is also owned by the store owner. The shops just tend to flow in to one another.
Although this store is all about the ladies, there is a section for men. So, if you find yourself needing a gift for that special male in your life, you should check out Piper Lillies. Customer service was great!
