$329 Splurge Find Taking a break, I popped into Nave on Mercer to check out a Richard Chai dress, where I spotted a glass case full of rings and necklaces by Barking Irons. The jewelry is crafted from antique silver spoons and forged with New York icons like the Brooklyn Bridge. My favorite was the Liberty necklace—two spoons on a beautiful, slightly knotted, thin chain. There was an image of the Statue of Liberty on the larger spoon and old subway tracks on the smaller. It’s the perfect anti-jewelry jewelry. 159 Mercer St., nr. Houston St.; 212-274-1255. |
