I have lived in Brooklyn for a long time now. It is my first real home after the hometown where I grew up. If you've ever been to Brooklyn, you will understand why I love it so much. If you haven't visited, you definitely should come check it out.

The creative energy in Brooklyn is really amazing these days. There are artists, designers, writers, musicians, food and beverage businesses -- it seems like everyone is making something here.

I have felt particularly inspired this year, launching new designs, including the line of cuffs and the rough cut diamonds, which I am sneak previewing this month at Crafts on Columbus and the Nolita Market. So I have been spending a lot of time in my studio in Brooklyn, which is where the idea came for the Brooklyn Earrings (pictured). The design was also inspired a very nice person named Brooklyn, whom I met at a market.

The Brooklyn Earrings are a part of my Precious Metal Collection, along with the rough cut diamond pieces. They are hammered squares of sterling silver, with smaller accent squares in solid 14K gold. I really like the way the smaller gold squares are offset on the larger ones. The earrings in a pair are mirror images, so they frame your face nicely. And they also reflect the light. I have dedicated them to Brooklyn, my home, and home to millions of New Yorkers, many of whom immigrated from all over the world.

The Brooklyn earrings are a Limited Edition of 288 pairs only. In fact, all the items in my Precious Metal Collection will be limited editions. So please purchase your pair now because when they're gone, they're gone.

I'm excited for Autumn Crafts on Columbus this weekend and next (our booth is on Columbus at 79th Street), as well as our regular spot at the Nolita Market on Friday - Sunday, weather permitting. Please come see me and try on some new jewelry for the new season!
