Opal mon amour, in New York. If you pass in the Big Apple, until 23 april the Aaron Faber Gallery has scheduled «Phenomenal Jewelry». How simple guess from the title, this is an exhibition with pieces out of the ordinary, often made with the addition of opal stones (but not only). According to what he told the site BlouinartInfo (www.blouinartinfo.com) Patricia Faber, co-owner of the gallery, “these phenomenal gemstones have unique optical properties, from iridescent stars in the changing lights like the aurora borealis. We wonder if our ancestors considered them magical, for their metaphorical cosmic power. Suggest reflections of light of the moon and sun, rainbows and stars, display colors and play of light”. Not only opals, in the jewels on display they are used other special items, such as moonstones, pearls, star sapphires, and alexandrite. Reflections, glow, colors that fade or changent, at the iridescence are their common denominator. The jewels in the Faber Gallery were made by 21 artists, including Claudio Pino, Glenda Arentzen, Tom Munsteiner, and Katherine Jetter. Federico Graglia
