Alexis Bittar (CLOSED)

The award winning designs of this Brooklyn-born jewelry guru made the jump to the left coast in 2010. Alexis Bittar, who began selling his homemade jewelry at a humble Soho street stand, is now best known for his glistening costume pieces, including sculptural designs and his trademark Lucite bangles. Now Angelenos can stock up on sparkling baubles at Alexis Bittar's beachy Venice locale.
