242 Grand Jewelry is a cooperative jewelry store and atelier in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, near the the popular tourist destination for shopping, Bedford avenue. The workshop is a collaboration between three metalworking jewelers: Perry Gargano, Britt Bolton and Delia Langan, all of whom hand craft their jewelry in the back studio while patrons peruse the artfully handcrafted adornments and objets d'art in the showroom up front.
Each artist makes a unique contribution to an aesthetic that draws inspiration from the tones and textures of the natural and supernatural.
Perry Gargano, the owner and founder of 242 Grand Jewelry developing a signature brand of work ranging from unisex jewelry to home accessories that range from nautical to animal themed to supernatural. His work features unisex tentacle cuffs and rings, silverware, and a hand carved chess set.
Delia Langan Jewelry’s delicate jewelry features precious metals and semi-precious gemstones. Her line is composed of bohemian yet simple layering necklaces, stacking rings, and hammered hoop earrings with gemstones.
Britt Bolton's line features rough metal, leather, and crystal jewelry as well as one of a kind body pieces. The occult is consistently referenced in her work, whether in her sought after Crucifix Dagger Pendants, floating Quartz Crystal Ball Necklaces, or men’s line of masculine sterling silver rings. Her full-body editorial pieces are painstakingly crafted from scratch using one-of-a-kind cast metal parts, woven and knotted together with deerskin, contouring the body like leather-bound armor.
