The apologetic owner of a Brooklyn jewelry store blasted for hawking earrings that look like swastikas said Wednesday that she will stop selling the controversial baubles.
City Councilman Steve Levin (D-Brooklyn) went to Bejeweled in Greenpoint inquiring about the odd sales choice and met with owner Young Sook Kim.
“She was regretful, said Levin after the noon showdown. “She agreed to take them down.”
Levin raised concerns about the earrings on Tuesday.
A Bejeweled manager retorted that the earrings had nothing to do with Nazis. Rather, the manager said, they are a sign of prosperity in Tibetan Buddhism.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
