Tame New York Is Bringing Statement Jewelry Back in a Big Way

It’s glamorous, a little rebellious, unmistakably New York, and—most importantly—really, really fun to wear.

If your jewelry collection has been playing it a little too safe lately, Tame New York is here to shake things up. Think chunky gold, sculptural silhouettes, pops of color, and the kind of statement pieces that can take even your most basic outfit somewhere much more interesting.

Equal parts vintage glamour and downtown cool, Tame is making a convincing argument for leaving subtle accessories behind and we’re very much listening.

Why We Love Tame New York

There’s jewelry that finishes an outfit, and then there’s jewelry that becomes the outfit. Tame New York is firmly in the latter camp. Founded in 2025 by creative director and content creator Abby Silverman, the New York-based accessories brand is making a case for getting dressed with a little more drama—and having a lot more fun while doing it.

Tame feels like an antidote to years of barely-there jewelry and whisper-quiet accessories. Its world is unapologetically bold: sculptural gold, oversized silhouettes, unexpected color, vintage-inspired shapes, and pieces designed to be noticed. Silverman draws on her love of vintage fashion and art, as well as more than a decade working across fashion, beauty, and media, to create accessories that feel nostalgic without looking like they came from a costume box.

But what really caught our attention is the philosophy behind all that glamour. Tame encourages its customers to step outside the cycle of fleeting trends and treat getting dressed as an exercise in personal expression. Instead of telling you what you should be wearing, these are pieces that practically dare you to make them your own. A chunky bracelet with jeans and a tee? Absolutely. Sculptural earrings with your favorite little black dress? Even better. Necklace, earrings, bracelets, all at once? Tame would certainly approve.

There’s thought behind the production, too. Tame says its pieces are made in small batches to help minimize waste and the brand works with vetted artisans and manufacturing partners across the U.S. and Asia. For a brand built around more-is-more style, we appreciate seeing a more considered approach happening behind the scenes.

Ultimately, Tame makes jewelry for the days when subtle just isn't the assignment. It’s glamorous, a little rebellious, unmistakably New York, and—most importantly—really, really fun to wear.

The Standout Products

[box-b: soho-siren-statement-earrings]

The Soho Siren Earrings feel like a little piece of vintage glamour made for a downtown wardrobe. A vivid green glass stone sits at the center of a textured, gold-plated brass frame, giving the square silhouette plenty of dimension without losing that polished, put-together feel. At 1.2 inches, they’re unapologetically statement-making, but Tame keeps them lightweight with a clip-on design—proof that big jewelry doesn’t necessarily have to mean a night of sore ears.

We especially love the contrast between the rich emerald green and high-shine gold. Throw them on with a black dress for full-on glamour, or use them to make a white tee, denim, and slicked-back hair suddenly feel very intentional. They’re bold, a little retro, and exactly the kind of accessory that captures Tame’s “untamed glamour” energy.

[box-b: city-showstopper-statement-chain-belt]

A belt that’s less about holding things up and more about turning heads. The City Showstopper takes the classic chain belt into full maximalist territory, with oversized gold-toned medallions, jewel-like pops of color, and a dangling heart charm that gives the whole piece a playful vintage feel. It has that fabulous, slightly over-the-top energy that makes Tame so much fun.

We love it cinched over a sleek black dress, where the jewelry-like details get to do all the talking, but it could just as easily transform an oversized blazer or your favorite denim. It’s unexpected, glamorous, and proof that sometimes the best accessory isn’t a necklace or a pair of earrings—it’s the one wrapped around your waist.

[box-b: bowery-after-dark-statement-necklace]

The Bowery After Dark Necklace is the kind of piece that makes minimal jewelry feel almost impossible to go back to. Its thick, ribbed gold silhouette wraps around the neckline with serious sculptural presence, while the crystal-studded details add just enough sparkle to push it from bold to full-on glamorous. The matching Bowery After Dark earrings carry the same sculptural, downtown-luxe aesthetic, making the whole look feel distinctly Tame.

We’d let this one take center stage: pair it with a strapless top, plunging neckline, or simple black dress and skip the extra layers. It has a fabulous vintage-meets-night-out quality that feels made for after-dark plans—dramatic, polished, and completely uninterested in blending in.

[box-b: fifth-avenue-flame-statement-bracelet]

The Fifth Avenue Flame Bracelet is giving vintage Upper East Side glamour with a decidedly bolder attitude. Oversized caramel-brown stones are framed by fluid, high-shine gold shapes, creating a chunky silhouette that feels luxurious without being overly polished. The warm neutral palette makes it surprisingly versatile, too—it’s a statement piece, but one you could easily work into your everyday rotation.

We’d wear it with creamy knits and chocolate browns for a tonal moment, or stack it onto an all-black look and let that glossy gold do its thing. It has the kind of ’80s-inspired drama that instantly makes an outfit feel more styled, proving that your wrist deserves a little main-character energy, too.

[box-b: fifth-avenue-flame-statement-earrings]

Silver jewelry is having a serious moment, and the Fifth Avenue Flame Earrings make the cooler-toned metal feel anything but minimal. Their oversized sculptural frames surround glossy amber-colored centers, creating a warm-meets-cool contrast that feels distinctly retro while still looking fresh. The slightly irregular, layered shape gives them that chunky vintage-store-find appeal Tame does so well.

We love these as an unexpected alternative to classic gold statement earrings. Pair them with a leather jacket and slicked-back hair for something decidedly downtown, or lean into the ’70s energy with chocolate brown, denim, and warm neutrals. Either way, they’re proof that silver can bring plenty of drama.

Tame New York is a reminder that getting dressed should be fun. From oversized earrings and sculptural necklaces to the kind of statement belt that completely transforms a little black dress, every piece feels designed to bring a little more personality—and a lot more glamour—to your wardrobe.

What we love most is that Tame doesn’t ask you to follow a formula. Mix metals, pile on the accessories, wear the dramatic earrings on a random Tuesday. These are pieces made for experimenting with your style and dressing for yourself rather than whatever the latest “aesthetic” says you should be wearing.

So, if your jewelry box has been feeling a little too well-behaved lately? Consider this your permission to give Tame a try.
