The Store at MAD is pleased to premiere RE:FINE Holiday 2017, previously known as Redefining Fine Jewelry. RE:FINE marks The Store’s third seasonal foray into fine jewelry for sale.
Bringing together a highly curated group of thirty-two international artists and designers, including eight jewelers selected for their alternative bridal collections, RE:FINE spotlights forward-thinking jewelry artists, each with a consummate craft and singular creative vision, who have applied innovative technique to the highest-quality precious metals and nontraditional gemstones to create timeless and inspired pieces.
“I am delighted to celebrate these fine jewelers and designers, whose pieces speak to our nuanced individuality rather than conform to traditional jewelry’s ideas,” said Franci Sagar, Vice President of Retail and Brand Development at MAD. “Drawing on the Museum’s mission to champion creators across creative fields, including artists, designers, and artisans, The Store at MAD is in a unique position to highlight and celebrate jewelry artists who fuse high design with excellence in craftsmanship.”
Sagar is co-curating this season’s RE:FINE with Beth Bernstein, whose career in the jewelry industry spans twenty years. Bernstein has written about the subject as a journalist and author, and has consulted for various companies on design, merchandising, and marketing.
“The jewelers and designers included in RE:FINE are making an indelible mark on the industry by challenging the conventions of what fine jewelry means,” Bernstein said. “They have helped shape the tastes and standards of today’s jewelry collectors—women who embrace creativity and are confident in their own tastes and style.”
This season’s collection features, for the first time, Alberian & Aulde, Baltera, Chasseur Fine Jewelry, Mimi Favre, GiGi Ferranti, Foundrae, Moritz Glik, Margery Hirschey, Karen Karch, Julie Lamb, Loriann Jewelry, Marie Mas, Erica Molinari, Nancy Newberg, Eden Presley, Ruta Reifen, Megan Thorne, Ruth Tomlinson, and Lene Vibes. Returning are Agas & Tamar, Stephanie Albertson, Lika Behar, Denise Betesh, Hannah Blount, Stella Flame, Elizabeth Garvin, Serhat Geridonmez, Joan Hornig, Tony Malmed, Marian Maurer, Todd Pownell, and .925Suneera.
The Store at MAD is an original voice and premier shopping destination in New York City, offering a curated presentation of well-executed contemporary jewelry and artist-made objects. Our aim is to build a bridge between our customers, our artists and their work, and the Museum. At the core of our presentation are unique products that celebrate materials, an excellence in craftsmanship, and the process of design.
