The report shows that couples are searching for vintage and antique rings, gold jewelry, pearls, and colorful pieces.
Flat 128 is my cup of tea
I took a little trip to London on Wednesday night, without even leaving New York City.
On the edge of the West Village on Christopher Street sits Flat 128, a luxury lifestyle store that “brings the U.K. to N.Y.C.” and offers everything from jewelry to antiques to one-of-a-kind clothing.
Among the jewelry carried is pieces by Sarah Angold, a London-based designer who creates geometric earrings, bracelets and necklaces made with laser-cut acrylic, 3-D printed materials including plastic and brass, and other materials like sterling silver and wood.

Angold’s pieces are handmade in limited editions of 30, each engraved with its own production number.

Angold first began her career in textile design, she told me, followed by a year in Japan working for Toyota on vehicle design. That was followed by a residency at the Design Museum in London for lighting design.
It was when London department store Selfridges commissioned Angold to decorate their shop windows that she decided to delve into the world of jewelry-making. Now, in addition to creating her limited-edition pieces, Angold also offers bespoke jewelry, as well as services in interiors, printed fabrics and a range of other projects.
Flat 128 is owned by Elizabeth DuBois, a New York native who spent her 20s living in London and now uses her shop to bring the work of designers from the United Kingdom to the city.
