The show is an exploration of the on-going conversation between art jewelry and fashion, and exhibits the work of 16 international artists - many of whom work directly with some of the biggest fashion houses in the industry. 

This debut exhibit will be followed by, "RiverStones", the next exhibit which opens on November 20th, and will feature glass vessels and jewelry by an artist from Murano, Italy. The art work is stunning -  the jewelry bold and contemporary.

#DailyJewel - My #LatestObsession - Lauren Harper!

Lauren Harper travels to the corners of the earth to find gemstones of perfect color and distinctiveness. Stones from exotic destinations like Namibia, Botswana, Laos, South Africa, Cambodia, Thailand & India give each piece in the collection a unique sensibility, and a one of a kind story. Harper uses warm 18kt yellow gold blends and studs them with brightly colored, always changing combinations of precious gemstones such as Moonstones, Peruvian Opals, Black Diamonds, Thai Sapphires, and of course, brilliant white Diamonds. She finds her inspiration by blending the individual characteristics of each stone with the art, architecture and culture of the places she visits. From ancient Egyptian and Byzantine designs, to Khmer ruins, her muse is the world at large. For more information, please visit www.laurenharperdesigns.com
