OCCULTER on TIMEOUT NEW YORK

Occulter Talk about a head trip: Black Sheep & Prodigal Sons jewelry designer Derrick R. Cruz’s pint-size shop of curiosities is divided into two areas that symbolize each hemisphere of the brain. To the left, you’ll find his sources of inspiration for sale, including rubber-dipped moleskin notebooks ($11) and vinyl records by experimental Spanish punk bands ($9–$70). On the right lie his creations, such as asymmetrical wooden earrings cast in silver ($140) and a key-charm necklace ($90). While you may not be able to afford quirky gems like a Navajo-inspired breastplate fashioned from piano-ivory veneers and leather harnesses ($3,200) or a medallion necklace made from miniature magnifying lenses and bee parts found on a Brooklyn rooftop ($3,027), they’re certainly worth gawking over. 83 1/2 Orchard St at Broome St (917-769-2220, blacksheepandprodigalsons.com). Daily noon–8pm.
