Item New York, a newly opened boutique on 444 Broome St. between Broadway and Mercer in New York's upscale SoHo neighborhood is the latest store to carry jewelry styles by San Francisco jewelry designer, John S. Brana.  The cozy store features a minimalistic interior with gunmetal colored walls and dark wood accents and is beautifully stocked with a well-edited selection of one-of-a-kind statement pieces from jewelry to handbags.  The store's concept is to offer its shoppers that special signature piece that becomes the standout "item" to accentuate their ensemble.  We weren't surprised Item fell in love with John S. Brana's Muir Woods earrings and Pacific Heights cocktail rings! 

A hand-selected collection of John S. Brana's copper, patinated, and aluminum earrings are now available to purchase at the SoHo boutique, including various pairs of his well-received "lily pad" earring styles.  Shoppers may choose from John S. Brana's dramatic, wire-wrapped cocktail rings set with large carat gemstones including smoky topaz, citrine, amethyst, and blue topaz from his Pacific Heights Collection.  And, jewelry connoisseurs will surely spot the most elegant piece of the entire selection, the multi-strand layered gemstone necklace featuring amber, citrine, crystal quartz, gold freshwater pearls, and hammered sterling silver discs from the Barbary Coast Collection of statement jewelry.  This is absolutely the perfect piece for that special someone who will fall in love at first sight.
