Your Friends and Neighbors

Most ways of showing your Brooklyn neighborhood pride are really lame. Cheesy hoodies emblazoned with "Willamsburg"? Anything from the MTA subway store? Please don't do that.

We've found a better option for you. NYC jewelry designer Thea Grant has created really cute collections of necklaces, bracelets, and trinkets inspired by your favorite neighborhoods.

You can choose the collection that best suits your zip code - Williamsburg, The Heights, Red Hook, or The Navy Yard, but you can rest assured that whatever you pick, it will look good.

Grant favors asymmetrical looks and Calder-esque counterbalance of weight that give each design a one-of-a-kind quality. We don't mean to be untrue to our neighborhood (Bed-Stuy!), but we really like the subtlety of "The Heights" collection.

Let's just call it....aspirational?

I went to school with Thea in Brooklyn Heights! Maybe that's why the Heights necklaces are some of the best. Glad to see she's making such cute jewelry....

Commenter Emily -- is that you, Emily S.? Are you talking about St. Anns? How come everyone in the whole world is A) someone you know and B) someone you went to St. Anns with?
