Monarch Boutique, New York

A bold, whimsical aesthetic inspires the Andrew Hamilton Crawford jewelry line. From a ray-gun necklace to a bejeweled Buddha ring, nearly every piece in the collection qualifies as a statement item, much like Elton John’s many scarves of live peacocks. Celebrities, including Jessica Simpson, as well as fashion magazines Marie Clare and Lucky, have highlighted these works of art.

An online boutique sells the complete jewelry line, including limited-edition pieces, and select pieces also hit the shelves of a Hell’s Kitchen storefront. There, fashionable staffers also fill racks with on-trend, in-season apparel, intimates, and purses. Feminine style and silhouettes fill the shop, which visitors can browse during special events such as Champagne Thursdays.
