Greenmarket Square in Cape Town, South Africa

My friend was at the FIFA World Cup in Cape Town, South Africa and brought me back a variety of hand-carved wooden pendants. Made of “Iroko”, African teak wood and “African pearwood” these pendants feature traditional African tribal motifs. He found them while walking through the eclectic artist stalls at Greenmarket Square. Greenmarket Square is known as the mecca of african arts and crafts set among a gorgeous backdrop of historic buildings and cobblestone streets.

I’ve paired these wooden pendants with a .925 sterling silver chain that adjusts 16-18 inches. Retail price is: $30.

If you are you tired of watching Law & Order reruns because The Market NYC has been closed the past two weekends, don’t despair.  The Market NYC will be reopening this weekend - Saturday, January 16th and  Sunday, the 17th.  Take all your holiday money (whatever is left) and return all the H & M and Gap crap and make your way down to the Market. You’ll find the best independent designers in New York City, from jewelry to handbags to t-shirts and winter coats.  Designers have also been waiting anxiously  to show off some of their newest creations for 2010.  Already known for its great prices (20% to 30% cheaper than regular retail), this weekend is also the a great time for bargains.  Many designers will be selling some overstock items leftover from the holiday season (think BIG $$ALE).  Come early for the best selection.

YUMI CHEN returns to The Market NYC every weekend (Sat & Sun) with her Handmade Jewelry and Makeup!

Location: 268 Mulberry Street (between Houston and Prince St). 
Hrs: 11am - 7pm
