Markets of New York

The Old Cathedral Market on Prince Street in Nolita is picturesque against the churchyard’s old brick wall.  It is a relatively small market, but it is filled with some pretty amazing handmade crafts.  Under one umbrella halfway down the block, you will find Mano Jewelry Designs.  This artisan creates handmade rings, necklaces, and cuffs in silver for men and women.  He uses rich and unusual accents in his pieces.  His silver rings and cuffs have bands of ebony wood around them.  He has one large men’s ring in silver and ebony with a black diamond embedded in it.  The combination of the earthy ebony with the dark diamond makes a seriously masculine statement.

The ebony bands come in narrow and wider widths and sizes, and people have chosen them as wedding bands.  The silver bands pictured also come in sizes for women and men.  Each piece exudes quality craftsmanship, care, and attention to detail.

Stop by Mano Jewelry Designs and see for yourself at the Old Cathedral Market on weekend days!
