JV Insardi Inspires Curiosity in New Collection
Creative Director Jen Insardi brings a new take on classic gold bead designs to her “Solar” collection.

Founder and Creative Director Jen Insardi created this collection to “delve into the human fascination with the unknown, celebrating our quest for discovery, whether it be tangible or abstract.”
Seen throughout the collection is a classic gold bead design that has been carved open and inlaid with gemstones.
Champagne diamonds, black sapphires, smoky quartz, chalcedony, onyx, and gray pearls are used as a symbol of the belief that “exploration leads to growth and that the unknown is to be embraced, not feared,” explained Insardi.
When creating Solar, her goal was to design pieces that were avant-garde yet familiar.
“I aimed to take a design concept, a shape that has been used repeatedly, and reinvent its perspective. My goal was to introduce something fresh while still drawing the consumer in with the comforting essence of the classic sphere shape,” said Insardi.
The 38-piece collection includes rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets, along with several one-of-a-kind designs, which are set to debut in the Solar collection soon.
JV Insardi’s one-of-a-kind pieces will feature uniquely cut stones and gold beads, exploring a balance between linear forms and sculpture designs.
Additional bubble rings will also be available soon with grey moonstone, jade, and deep London topaz.
The Solar collection retails for $4,000 to $54,000.
It is available at Kirna Zabête in New York City, The Conservatory (which is launching soon) in Dallas, and on the JV Insardi website.
