INSPIRED BY THE SIGHTS, SOUNDS, ATTITUDE AND ENERGY OF NEW YORK CITY, THESE SPECIAL NEW YORK INSPIRED JEWELRY DESIGNS ARE MADE FOR THE NEW YORKER IN ALL OF US
"Once you have lived in New York and it has become your home, no place else is good enough." — John Steinbeck
You never forget your first glimpse of the New York City skyline, whether you grew up here or got here as fast as you could. It's at once breathtaking and heart bursting. The possibilities, the diversity, the no-nonsense pace - these are the reasons 8 million people cram themselves into the five boroughs. Every day there's a new inspiration.
This year we've been especially inspired by the city's resilience and the (by no means surprising) habit New York has of maintaining the magic amidst crisis. Everyone should be so lucky to hear the applause that has engulfed the streets at 7pm each night to honor the healthcare workers as they change shifts. The largest city in the country feels like a tight-knit community waving to each other from their windows across the street. If you, like many others, haven’t been here in a while, New York is still the same beacon of hope and optimism, brimming with opportunity. We can’t wait to see you again.
For the full New York experience, listen to our curated playlist while you browse our collection.
SUNSCRAPER
A must see experience you can only get in New York: Manhattanhenge, the urban phenomenon occurring when the sunrise and sunset align with the Manhattan street grid. These each happen twice a year around the summer and winter solstices and the skyline transforms to a glistening kaleidoscope of rays and windows, like a glowing yellow gemstone.

CENTRAL PARK LOOP
Central Park is the best escape from the city within the city. Our diamond and emerald necklace resembles the actual loop of the path through the park but also reminds us that we're always on the go in NYC. Even if you're stuck in traffic, you're still going places.
ENERGY BANGLE AND BAND
The Energy Bangle and Emerald Cut and Baguette Diamond Energy Band represent the city that is in perpetual motion. In the words of Simone de Beauvoir, "There is something in the New York air that makes sleep useless."
SNOWY CITY MOON
The glow of the moon on a snowy evening in the city is unmistakable. When the sidewalks are covered in a blanket of white and the streets are still except for the soft fall of new flakes, the moon peeks out from behind the skyline and lights your way to wherever the night may take you.

TRANSFER EARRINGS & BRACELET
Our Transfer Gold and Diamond Earrings and Tennis Bracelet remind us that we're always transferring to get to the next best thing. Whether it's the E train to the F, or the L to the D, we're always making our way to something new.
BIG APPLE PENDANT
A true tribute to the Big Apple. You no longer have to wait for apple picking season to take part in a favorite New York activity. There are two design options for this pendant. The first wraps 18 karat gold around a raw malachite slice with pave set diamonds and emeralds.
CITY NOISE MEDALLION
The sounds of the city are a constant soundtrack that we can't escape. Even from thirty plus stories up, there's still an unavoidable hum of traffic, car horns, sirens, music and more. As much as we sometimes wish we could mute it, the city sounds create a melody that makes us feel at home.
GOLD AND BAGUETTE DIAMOND LARIAT
With gold and baguette diamonds, this necklace takes us on a journey around the city. Whether heading uptown or downtown, there's always someplace to be. Sometimes we forget that Manhattan is an island. The diamond lariat is a luxe representation of the bridges paving the way to NYC.
TRAIN HOPPER
Sometimes more than one train is required to get where you are going, and sometimes you have to wait... a little while. If only every platform in the city could be paved in diamonds and emeralds.
LIBERTY EARRINGS
The Liberty Earrings flip the Statue of Liberty's crown on its head to create a unique radiating design for this solitaire style earring that is worthy of Lady Liberty herself. Read here for more on the design story behind the Liberty solitaires.
