The idea for “Carey Lowell x Sidney Garber” began after jewelry designer Brooke Garber, pictured center in the black glasses, saw a mobile Lowell created and thought her interpretation of goddesses looked like jewelry.
New York—Sidney Garber, the jewelry brand founded by Brooke Garber, and Carey Lowell, an actor and ceramicist, have collaborated on a new capsule collection exclusively for Bergdorf Goodman.
While the partnership between Garber and Lowell stems from a genuine friendship and mutual admiration—they are both longtime collectors of each other’s art—a mobile Lowell created is what sparked the creation of this collection.
“As soon as I saw Carey’s mobile, I thought, this is jewelry,” said Garber.
“When I found out they were goddesses, it made sense to me. With her graceful strength and creativity, Carey is the archetype of a goddess.”
The mobile that inspired the “Carey Lowell x Sidney Garber” capsule collection. The work of art is on display in the women-led gallery, Onna House in East Hampton, New York.
The “Carey Lowell x Sidney Garber” collection is comprised of 19 pieces inspired by ancient goddesses and rounded feminine forms, with figures such as Aurora, Gaia, Circe, and Clio.
“I became interested in pre-history and the origin of female power. Some of the shapes are goddesses and some are things I love,” said Lowell.
“They express the organic female form—curved, rounded, and fecund—and represent life force and regeneration, rebirth, and fertility. I made them as a celebration of womanhood and femininity.”
