Goldengrove Jewelry, by our friend Margaret Cross, was borne of sturm & drang, and this is nowhere more apparent than in the sheer volume of raw emotion packed into each piece because it is, quite simply, overflowing. She works with myriad material, from natural stones to polished diamonds, all to express that singular thing that makes us all human, that we love (or we hate, but alas alack either way we fucking live) & then we die. Inspired by human sentiment & mourning & drawing on a background in printmaking & an art degree from Pratt, each piece is handmade with care & intention in her little Brooklyn studio.
