CAN’T–MISS COLLECTION

Love Tokens

Before they married, Zina Sterling vice president Andrew Goldstein received a kayak pendant from his wife, Dorian, to mark his love of the water. When the brand’s customers noticed it, they began to request their own special symbols, so he compiled a dozen of the most requested looks into the TokenZ collection. Designs are largely made in silver and feature familiar motifs like baby feet as well as more risqué symbols—including a marijuana leaf.

And with 200 of them retailing for less than $500, it’s safe to say that retailers looking to bolster their supply of silver arm adornment have plenty of affordable options at this New York City–based manufacturer. Brace yourself for some tough decision-making!

“Lafonn is usually the women’s self-purchase gift. I sold a big pair of 2 carat CZ studs, though I generally sell rings better. Lafonn is probably the hottest thing we sell.”
