Addictive Addition: Catbird Theadbare Ring

⟇⟇⟇

Catbird’s Threadbare Ring is made from delicately hammered fourteen-karat gold, so thin, you have to look close or you might miss it.

Wear them stacked, separated or purchase a smaller size for the mid-knuckle. The styling options are endless… and addictive.

About Catbird:

Located smack dab in the center of breathtaking Williamsburg, where the asthma rates are high and the tree quotient is low. Regardless, we love our neighborhood and because of that we specialize in local designers (although we carry items from designers all over the globe) and we’re always unearthing new and exciting stuff.

While the emphasis is on jewelry there is always a wide variety of other fun stuff. Why limit yourself? We also love glassware, terrariums, candlesticks, cards, water bottles, tooth fairy boxes, candles, art, boxes and trays, compasses, old fashioned toys, fancy things to put in your hair…it’s always changing. And we’re open to suggestions!

Some of our illustrious local designers include Digby & Iona, Yayoi Forest, Satomi Kawakita, Katrina LaPenne, Nancy Kraskin, John Derian, Elisa Solomon, Max Steiner, Jezebel, Bittersweetsnyc.

Other, non-local, independent designers we love and carry include Joanna Lingnau, Carla Caruso, Stephanie Simek, and Demitasse and many many more.
