“Nina Stotler’s been designing really gorgeous, fairly affordable jewelry out of her Brooklyn studio since 2004, but she’s a still a bit under the radar. Click through for a look at her collection:

That is reason number one why I think she should be on your radar: buying jewelry that isn’t instantly recognizable by the masses is a priceless investment. It gives you an air of mystery. Her latest collection, Meridian, is reason number two. Handcrafted out of a mish-mash of watch chains, oversized closures and brass hardware, it feels lavishly Art Deco, but the weighty heavy-link chains give it an everyday grungy element, too—so it looks good with everything from jeans and a t-shirt to a cocktail dress. And most of her pieces are under $225. Check it out and buy it all here.”
