Martine Ali is a Chicago-born, Brooklyn-based designer who is known for unisex jewelry inspired by the utility of New York City, ’90s grunge and hip-hop culture. Designed with a modular sensibility that encourages versatility and creativity for the wearer. “It’s important to me to infuse the pieces with function. Pieces that clip together or hold your keys or that can be styled in different ways. It embodies the energy and the spirit of NYC, how we’re all on the go and we need these items to be with us all the time.”
