New Jewelry Show Comes to NY

RAPAPORT… A new show will launch in New York in November, covering
jewelry-related topics and providing an inside look at products made, designed,
produced and sold in the state.

NYC Jewelry Week (NYCJW) is a seven-day experience
featuring educational programming, exhibitions, lectures, workshops, tours and
collaborations within the New York jewelry community, its organizers said. One
of the exhibitions will explore how social media, especially Instagram, is
giving the public a new perspective on artists’ studios.

The show is the creation of Bella Neyman, an independent
curator and journalist specializing in contemporary jewelry, and JB Jones, a
fashion editor with a focus on jewelry. In 2017, the two co-curated Placement,
the first “street art x art” jewelry exhibition.

“New York City exists at an enviable intersection between
all aspects of the jewelry world,” said Erin Daily, co-founder of Brooklyn
Metal Works and a participant in the event. “The benefit of NYCJW is to give
all of these voices a platform. Bringing a cohesive event to New York will strengthen
the field and give the appreciators, collectors and general public an
opportunity to view jewelry from a vantage point yet unseen.”

The fair will take place from November 12 to 18.
