New York

The occasions of Amàli

Among the inhabitants of Astoria, a corner of Queens, New York, there are also Sara Freedenfeld and her husband Daniel Tishbi. Sara is the founder of Amàli, a jewelry brand named after the designer’s grandmother. Yet it was not her grandmother Amalia who pushed Sara Freedenfeld to pursue a career in jewelry, self-taught. It was the case. Or, better, a theft suffered in her youth, while she was walking through the streets of Chile with her backpack. Left without money, Sara began to see bijoux made with braided rope, a skill she acquired in Valparaiso. From that rudimentary activity she moved on to metalworking, learned with the help of a Venezuelan goldsmith. In short, a strange story, which could fit well in a sliding door series.

The fact is that at 26, after returning to the United States, the designer put into practice what she learned during her travels and in 2006 she founded Amàli. The Maison’s jewels are in 18-karat yellow gold, dressed with precious and semiprecious stones, in particular opal and tourmaline. Necklaces, rings and earrings are all handmade.

Carol Kauffmann, Brazil with rigour

Art, architecture and a lot of Brazil in the colors and geometries of the jewels of Carol Kauffmann ♦ ︎
It is true that art and creativity have no passport, but it is equally certain that one’s background leaves indelible marks in a person. Even more so if this person is a jewelry designer. This is the case, for example, in the case of Carol Kauffmann, born in Brazil in a family of textile entrepreneurs. Difficult to imagine in gray fabrics and pastel colors. Brazil is lively, with strong colors, and above all with many colored stones that are mined in the mines of the great South American country. As in the jewels of the Shadow collection.

Gold and emerald earrings from the Shadow collection

To this must be added the passion of Carol Kauffmann for travel, art, architecture, and even technology. All this mix becomes a style for jewelry that has not changed when the designer moved to New York. The gold and the different colored stones are composed with lively architectures, with a lot of personality, rigor and joy at the same time, with references to the art deco and even to the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt. The average price of jewelry ranges between 5000 and 10000 dollars. Giulia Netrese

James Taffin, a Frenchman in New York

The elegant, eclectic, geometric jewels of James Taffin de Givenchy ♦

Take a look at this unique jewel: two topaz stones mounted along with diamonds on a thin flexible 18K rose gold. The necklace has been drew by a French transplanted to New York, James Taffin de Givenchy, grandson of the legendary Hubert. James fell in love with stones after being at the head of the jewelry department of Christie’s on the West Coast of the US. His work is inspired by that of the great French designers of jewelry, such as Raymond Templier and Suzanne Belperron. He opened his boutique and studio on Madison Avenue, in the Big Apple. With this shape, the necklace published by the New York Times, it can do without the clip.

Collana con due topazi e diamanti
Necklace with two topaz and diamonds

James Taffin is skilled in reinterpreting the ancient stones and rare to new forms, in very original way. For example, in the intentions of the designers this necklace reminds an exclamation mark abstract. The two pink topaz are, from the Victorian era, they are with slightly different shades: one is pear-shaped, 3.5-carat; the larger one with shades of mauve, 39 carats, has an oval cut. Nestled in the jewel there are also 105 diamonds. To set up this piece of jewelry, it took 60 hours. But the designer has other interests: true to its French origins and at its name, he’s interesting to environmental scents and fragrances. In 2011, Barneys New York has launched a capsule Taffin Home Fragrance collection of scented candles handmade in France and presented in containers bakelite designed by Givenchy.

Wwake’s light philosophy

Rihanna wore a Wwake necklace to the Grammys a few years ago. She was a surprise especially for Wing Yau, a Vancouver-born designer who works and lives in Brooklin, New York. Her small, but now well-established Maison specializes in small, light and refined jewels, which have met with success above all among young women. In reality, however, the designer has an artistic background: she studied sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design, while her childhood reminds her full of travels between the Pacific and South America, with a special passion for art and anthropology.

Earrings in recycled yellow gold, opal and diamonds

From art galleries and artists, Wing has moved on to jewelry – a way to celebrate sculpture on a smaller scale. In September 2013 she launched her first line of thin and airy jewelry with diamonds and opal, a stone that, she says, obsesse her. Her delicate 14-karat gold jewelry has also been liked by celebrities such as, Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Watson, Solange and Zoe Kravitz. Wing Yau is also part of the Jewelry Industry Summit, Ethical Metalsmiths, Fairmined Gold Licensees.

The bright Hueb

From the center of Brazil, the Hueb brand has conquered the United States and the Middle East with its lively and refined jewelery
Brazil is one of the richest country of gemstones. It is not surprising that from Brazil come designers also with high-level. Like Cristina and Rogério Hueb, who in 1987 founded their Hueb jewelry brand in the city of Uberaba, in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, one of the high-density mining areas. But since 1970 the matriarch, Fádua Hueb, had begun selling jewels to his friends, with a success that gave life to the business.

The New York jewels of Mason and Books

Jewelery with elaborate, modern shapes, with a touch of colour, where the design balances the use of stones, often cut and set in a creative way: Mason and Books is one of the New York brands that occupies the fine jewelery space. She’s also one of the youngest: she debuted in 2021, but her creator, Jemie Books, has a long career behind her. Born in the big American city, she has covered the chapters of her career in the world of fashion and accessories, before diving headlong into jewelry. After studying at Camberwell College of the Arts, she was managing director of the jewelery brand Julie Baker Design, but she was also involved in handbags and small leather goods at Kara Ross and chief operating officer at Hayward Finesse, another accessories brand.

Eden Presley the second life of Gwen Myers

He is self taught. He started working at an Italian restaurant, Trattoria Dell’Arte, in New York and went on to a job in marketing at The Fireman Hospitality Group. So how did Gwen Myers manage to become a jewelry designer with her brand, Eden Presley? The avenues of jewelry are endless but, in this case, they also received help from their husband: the first jewels produced by the designer, in fact, were gifts that she modified and allowed her to take her first steps into the world of precious jewels. And the name of the Maison? Simple: Eden Presley brings together that of her two daughters.

Bracciali con tormaline di diversi colori
Bracelets with tourmalines of different colors

Gwen Myers’ business has been going on since 2010 and continues successfully. To characterize the jewels of the Maison are above all the colored gems, often used with unusual combinations and in large numbers. Tourmalines or emeralds, labradorite or moonstone plus, as always, diamonds, are gathered in clusters or in sequence on rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings, mounted on 14-karat gold or silver. It is an elegant, colorful type of jewelry designed to be worn every day.

Elior in pills

Elior Mordechai’s biography in a nutshell (or pills) indicates that he began his jewelry career at the age of 14, when he spent his summers interning at his family’s Wholesale Diamond Jewelry Company. There, he explains, his passion for rare gems was born, as he learned to classify diamonds and develop them from rough stones to gems for jewellery. The mention of pills is not accidental: the designer, who works in New York with the Elior brand, offers a series of jewels inspired by the shape of medicinal capsules. Bracelets, earrings or rings have the typical shape of a pill as a pendant or as a final element, a repeated shape in 18-carat yellow or white gold, with or without diamond pavé or multicolored sapphires.

Bracciale in oro 18 carati e diamanti
Bracelet in 18K gold and diamonds

Elior, however, has no connections with the world of pharmacy, but studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology, where he specialized in metalworking and then at the New York Jewelry Design Institute, focusing on the creative aspect of design through sketching and painting in gouache. And he underlines that his style is influenced by the oriental tradition: his grandfather was an antiques dealer of Persian origin.

At the sea with Guita M

Color, precious stones, but also shells. A series of jewels by Guita M, a New York brand that stands out for its ability to break the mold, but without abandoning the pleasure of imaginative luxury, are dedicated to the marine theme. Very special earrings. Like those with fossilized starfish with cabochon deep green emeralds and heart-shaped emerald on 18k yellow gold. Or those with black jade starfish, deep red fire opals and white diamonds on rose gold. Jewels that are not easy to make and, before that, to conceive.

Orecchini con stelle marine di corallo fossilizzato, con cabochon di smeraldi verde intenso e smeraldo a cuoresu oro giallo 18 carati
Striking fossilized coral starfish earrings with deep green emerald cabochons on emerald heart top in 18kt yellow gold

Perhaps the pyrotechnic story of the designer, Guita Mortinger, has provided fuel for the creative capacity. The designer founded her jewelry brand Guita M in 2007, in New York, after a career as a lawyer, president of a menswear brand or of the organic cosmetics company Oloff Beauty, when she still went by the surname of the first husband, Dovas. She then remarried the financier Christian Mortinger and decided to change her life. But she must also be told that she was born in Iran, from where she fled with her family after the revolution of the ayatollahs. In short, an adventurous life.

Maybe for this reason too she hasn’t given up on traveling, from Egypt to India, to find stones and elements to use in her collections, such as miniatures on shells or beetles, but even hands to be transformed into pendants. Her jewels, however, are all made in New York.

The jewels born on the beach by Cvc Stones


x



Charlie de Viel Castel is managing partner in Stelac, a New York-based financial company. But he has also become, surprisingly, a very special jeweler with his Cvc Stones. The jewels he produces, in fact, are made with pebbles found on the beach or on the bottom of rivers. With a peculiarity: they have small diamonds set and hang at the end of a gold chain. It all started when the financier’s grandmother died and inherited a diamond in the rough to Charlie. An event that prompted Charlie de Viel Castel to consider the stones he collected as a child in a different light.

Collana Rosalina in pietra, oro e diamanti

Thus was born the idea of ​​setting one or many diamonds surrounded by a gold border in the natural, raw stone, without changing its shape. The stones come from the beaches of different locations around the world, but the jewels are made in New York. The philosophy is to combine a precious material, the diamond, with a precious inspiration, the one that children have in front of nature. The result is pieces that are certainly different from everyone and also one of a kind.

The surprises of Nadine Ghosn




Nadine Ghosn: the new frontier of jewelry that makes you smile or surprise.

Irreverent. This is how Nadine Ghosn can be defined. A fine jewelry designer, she has a mind free from ancient traditions, except those that refer to the technique in the creation of her collections. For the rest, she plays surprise. She certainly won’t appeal to ladies accustomed to solitaire, emerald sets or strings of pearls. On the other hand, she likes those who interpret luxury as a game, those who love to break the rules (without exaggerating), those who want to wear something that amazes. A few examples: the hamburger ring. Made of gold, diamonds, sapphires and tsavorites, proposed in a limited edition.

One could continue with the can opener-shaped earring, the necklace that looks like a set of smartphone earphones, the laughing HaHaHa earrings, with jewels in the shape of Lego elements. Although she has recently entered the world of jewelry that she counts, the designer already has a good number of fans, including Beyoncé. Nadine Ghosn, 27, is based in New York and also has a special history. She is the daughter of former Renault-Nissan number one, Carlos Ghosn, she is a graduate of Stanford University and the Gemological Institute of America, she gained experience at the Boston Consulting Group and Maison Hermès. She was born in the USA, but she has Lebanese and Brazilian origins. Her family, rich in her, gave her a cultural melting pot. Perhaps this is why the result is so carefree.

Anna Sheffield’s sustainable jewelry




She was born and raised in New Mexico, which she remembers every time she cooks a spicy dish. Then, Anna Sheffield studied sculpture and fine arts in San Francisco. But she also worked in a tattoo parlor (as evidenced by her arms covered in drawings), in Saudi Arabia and in a small town in Virginia. For just over ten years, however, she has been a successful jewelry designer, with two stores in New York and Los Angeles. Since she considers jewels to be talismans, they may have brought her luck.

In any case, she is appreciated for several reasons. First of all for the ability to blend design, architecture and some echoes of indigenous craftsmanship. The second reason is that she has focused more on rings, reinventing the classic jewel destined to seal the engagement. Anna Sheffield has also created a Maison that is particularly attentive to the environment: she uses recycled gold which, she says, is not lacking and therefore it is not necessary to extract it. And she chooses carefully selected diamonds, with certified origin and sustainable extraction. Finally, she founded the Future Heritage Fund, in collaboration with the New Mexico Community Foundation, which grants funds to a number of non-profit cultural, environmental and educational organizations in New Mexico: at least 20% of Future Heritage sales are destined for this collection.

Bijoux et oursons gommeux par Lauren X Khoo




The jewels of the Lauren X Khoo brand, a mix of cultures, traditions and high jewelery ♦ ︎

She is of Chinese culture and origin, but born in Singapore, Lauren Khoo is also at home in Hong Kong and New York, the city where she lives and where her jewels are distributed, as well as on Moda Operandi. Not only: auction house Phillips has just presented 17 innovative fine jewelry pieces by designer Her style has nothing to do with those sprawling Chinese fantasies that translate into often very elaborate pieces, with dragons and peach blossoms. On the contrary, the jewels of her brand, Lauren X Khoo, have an international aesthetic, and in some cases even wink at the works of Jeff Koons, in her series of animals inspired by the Chinese zodiac. It is no coincidence that she lives in the US, studied in New England and graduated from Brown University, as well as in gemology at the Gia.

Her style ranges from geometric and rational design to that with oriental influences.

She works indifferently with gold, precious stones and pearls, which he wants to interpret in a more modern way.

Marlo Laz’s boho jewels




The American designer of Polish origin Jesse Marlo Lazowski, who founded his brand Marlo Laz in 2014, is the example of the appreciated, dynamic New York woman tuned into the present. Her jewelry style, defined as boho, appeals to models and actresses, but also to that type of woman who does not like conventions. They are jewels with few rules and a lot of creativity inherited from an aunt who designed and created jewels. In her biography, she tells how at the age of 13 Jesse Marlo received a bow-shaped brooch with pink rubies and diamonds, which belonged to her grandmother Miriam, as a gift. It was the first work of the designer, who transformed the family heirloom brooch into a modern necklace.

The jewels of Marlene Dietrich and Anne Eisenhower at Christie’s

The jewels that belonged to famous people have an extra charm. And the auction of Magnificent Jewels by Christie’s scheduled for June 7 can boast two famous names in its catalogue. The first is that of Anne Eisenhower, collector, philanthropist, and descendant of one of the most eminent American families: just think that her grandfather, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, was president of the United States. Anne Eisenhower died on July 30, 2022 and her jewels are now for sale. The other celebrity is Marlene Dietrich, a German naturalized American actress and singer, an icon of cinema in the first half of the twentieth century. And the most precious jewel in the collection really belonged to the legendary Merlene: a bracelet of rubies and Jarretière diamonds, purchased by the actress in 1937 from Van Cleef & Arpels. Marlene Dietrich wore it in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1950 thriller Stage Fright and it was purchased by Anne Eisenhower in 1992 (estimate $2,500,000-4,500,000).

Christie’s has planned a global tour ahead of the auction, which will begin in Los Angeles and continue in Paris, Geneva and Hong Kong. The complete collection will be sold live and online during Christie’s Luxury Week in New York on June 7th.

From Marlene Dietrich to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Anne Eisenhower Collection traces the history of the past century through a single collector’s brilliant passion for fine jewelry. Anne Eisenhower had a keen eye for the finest examples of the jeweler’s craft and her collection tells the fascinating and intertwining stories of patrons and collectors. Christie’s looks forward to sharing the experience of these superb objects as they embark on a global tour, culminating in our Rockefeller galleries in June.
