Satya Jewelry

Profile

After years of minimalism and a strict no-adornment ethos, recent runway trends have put costume jewelry front and center again (two words: rhinestone brooch). The Gap and Banana Republic have made admirable forays into the arena, but one of the most enjoyable places to rummage is at Satya, a compact boutique whose delicate, colorful jewels have a slightly hippie feeling. There are earrings, bracelets, and necklaces made from silver and gold vermeil and adorned with semi-precious stones. The dangly hoop earrings with their fringes of garnet or citrine might be a little boho for an office job, but a subtle pendant on a thin gold chain will go anywhere. Handcrafted blue-topaz drop necklaces, woven silver cuffs, and 24-karat gold vermeil flower rings are so affordable that you don’t have to wait for the sample sale.

Sample sales in spring and fall with select items marked down by 80 percent.
