Designed to appeal to jewellery professional and enthusiasts, the seven-day program will offer a platform for innovators, curators, retailers, and historians to share their knowledge and expertise through viewings and tours.

 

“Unlike a fair or a conference with everything happening under one roof, this is a cultural event across New York City. We are presenting the most public and the most personal art form that exists, and inviting people to take a closer look through numerous outlets. You can see notable examples in the museums’ collections, shop independent jewellers, or try your hand at soldering or casting at a makers’ space,” Jones told WWD.

One of the highlights will be a curator lead excursion of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibit Jewellery: The Body Transformed.

 

Running from November 12 to 18, other participants include the Museum of Arts and Design, the 92nd Street Y Jewellery Center, Brooklyn Metal Works, and Tiffany & Co.
