Read MoreEveryone knows Brooklyn is now considered the slightly hipper version of Manhattan and it is exactly in this borough where we found the coolest new jewelry brand ILD. This worldly brand designed by artist and designer Iwona Ludyga is inspired by travel and culture, we think the decidedly urbane and exotic vibe is perfect to wear layered for everyday. We especially love the horsehair tassel choker layered with several multiple strands of carved bone bead necklaces. Everything is made by hand in the designers studio, although many of these pieces often look like heirloom talismans from a native American or African tribe, this upscale DIY collection is deeply rooted in the new hipster vibe spreading over the Brooklyn bridge.
