About The Brand
Urban Vagabond Jewelers is a New York based brand currently operating out of the East End of Long Island. Inspired by the beauty of diverse cultures which can often be found within pockets of NY, we craft jewelry that tells stories from every corner of the globe.
Each piece is a tribute to tradition, adventure, and the artistry that connects us all. Let our designs take you on a journey—one that celebrates the spirit of the true Vagabond.
Every Piece Is An Adventure
We source materials that have cultural importance. Whether it is stones like turquoise, lapis, coral, sapphire, or handmade beads from places like Ghana, Nepal, Italy, Peru or the United States, we tell the story of near and distant regions by the jewelry we make.
Our custom designs are meant to represent the adventurer and vagabond in all of us.
The Man Behind The Curtain
About The Founder/Designer
Dan De La Cruz
Creative Directer & Founder
Dan was a New York City street artist and vendor from 2008-2015. He sold everything from t-shirts, paintings, screen prints, sculpture and jewelry on the streets of the New York neighborhood of SoHo.
During that time he created his Vagabond character which became a reoccurring image in every project. The Vagabond represents the desire to explore and seek adventure.
Starting in 2016 Dan began studying silver smithing and jewelry making. The Vagabond once again became the identity of this new project.
