New York City Jewelry Week

It is with great excitement that I announce I have been selected to take part in New York City Jewelry Week 2020.

New York City Jewelry Week welcomes arts and culture enthusiasts from around the globe to explore the multifaceted jewellery industry through groundbreaking exhibitions, forward-thinking panel discussions led by industry experts, exclusive workshop visits, heritage-house and independent studio tours, innovative retail collaborations, and other unforgettable one-of-a-kind programming created by the best and brightest in the industry across the world. This years event will be digital, making it more accessible than ever before. 

The events of New York City Jewelry Week begin on the 16th November, with some great talks on everything from jewellery and Spirituality, meeting the Jewellers and building awareness of responsibly sourced stones. You can see the full program here. 

I will be featured as part of Scottish Still Lifes, curated by Stacey Hunter from Local Heroes in association with the Incorporation of Goldsmiths. A series of specially curated still life photographs by Gabriela Silveira featuring the work of 6 Scottish jewellery designers will be revealed on Monday 16th November.
