Designer Kara Ross’ “Transformation” necklace is included in a new exhibit at New York’s Museum of Arts and Design called Multiple Exposures: Jewelry and Photography, running through Sept. 14. She created the necklace using concrete debris from a building once located in the Hudson Yards rail yards.
For its Clean Streets Campaign, started in 2012, Gemological Science International teams with jewelry retailers and other businesses in the area to adopt and clean a street. This year was focused on cleaning up Turner Road in Bandra in West Mumbai, India.
The jewelry retailers that participated with GSI this year to help clean up Turner Road and raise awareness of anti-littering included Anmol Jewellers, Gehna Jewellers, Charu Jewellers, Popley Jewellers, Deepchand Sons and A.E. Motiwala Jewellers.
GSI said that it believes in improving environmental conditions to enhance the quality of life and cultivate pride. “Events like this help to educate the society and spread awareness about protecting the environment,” said CEO Mark Gershburg.
To celebrate the launch of its Hybris Artistica collection exclusively at the TimeCrafters show in New York, Jaeger-LeCoultre partnered with fashion illustrator Katie Rodgers, who painted watercolor interpretations of the timepieces.
This is the Rendez-Vous Celestial watch, part of the brand’s new Hybris Artistica collection, as seen through the brush strokes of Rodgers.
Rodgers also illustrated Jaeger-LeCoultre’s new Reverso Cordonnet Neva watch.
The new Hybris Artistica collection will be on display at the TimeCrafters annual luxury watch show, which continues through Sunday at the Park Avenue Armory in New York.
