One of my favorite places to go jewelery shopping in NYC is at the street vendors in Union square. I've done so for the past 12 years and continue to buy from them. Here's the skinny. A lot of the vendors are immigrants who purchase imported jewelry and crafts for cheap and sell them here at an inflated price (not so bad).
I bought my first pair of these 5 years ago and they're still selling strong. I came to find out, these thread earrings are Peruvian. A simple search online and you can find them for $2 a pair (opposed to the $8 NYC prices). You can also get them in an assortment of colors. Apparently Urban Outfitters has caught on now and carries them. (Buy them off the street instead. You'll get a better deal)
FYI...if you're in NYC go to the African market in Harlem. They have a great selection of imported bronze earrings (thin twisted leaf design) that i swear, you will see all over the place in the next year or so.
Happy accessorizing!

Fula Earrings

First to recommend

Description

Handcrafted Fula Earrings made and worn by the Fulani of West Africa. I've seen these being sold at the African Market in Harlem and are noticing them slowly spread to the street vendors in the Village and Soho. They come in various sizes. I love these and can't wait to get another pair. (Probably the insanely large ones)

Cameo Floral Bobbie pins

First to recommend

Description

There are so many of these pins I want. They're pretty reasonable so why not. And unless your going for the Punky Brewster look, one is enough, so you can give the other as a gift........ Is that cheap?

Nirit Dekel jewelry

First to recommend

Description

So I was cruising Nirit Dekel's jewelry website and I don't know whether to eat her necklaces or wear them. They look GOOD. I especially like this colorful piece. I believe they're glass beads.
