NEW Store & Added Workshop Space

The new downtown Reinstein|Ross Goldsmiths store is open! 

At 30 Gansevoort Street (at Hudson Street), the new location is near the Highline, just steps away from the West Village, and down the street from the new Whitney Museum in the fashionable Meatpacking District.

The new store features a showroom, an in-store workshop and the new R|R Gallery. The store and workshop are open now, and the gallery will open its inaugural show early in September. 

Mina Earrings in the Workshop - Purple and Pink Sapphires and 20k Peach Gold

The in-store workshop not only expands their fabrication capacity, but puts an added focus on hand-fabricated, high-karat gold jewelry, right in the middle of the shopping experience. It is interesting to see it all take place.

The new R|R Gallery connected to the store will feature progressive work in studio art jewelry, as well as fine arts related to jewelry, precious stones and precious metals. 

"Our mission is to bring international exposure to emerging and established artists, though promotion, education, and exhibition. The R|R Gallery will present regular group, or solo, exhibitions, and is interested in collaborations with other galleries, museums and educational institutions,"  Schloss further stated, "It's an exciting time for us, and for this area of the city."
