Gem X Members in London were privileged to view the @wallacechanart exhibition at @christiesjewels. We were led by Mei Y Giam, Christie’s Private Sales Director in Jewellery, who gave us a wonderful tour around the exhibition full of anecdotes and history of Mr. Chan’s life.

Yesterday, we stepped out of the urban jungle into a jewel studded forest at David Webb. “Into the Woods” is the first in-house exhibition by the iconic American jeweler, celebrating the influence of nature on its jewels.

“To see time through a stone.” This was one of the beautiful thoughts shared during our private event with Grima Jewellery on Monday night, where we explored the legacy of Andrew Grima, a designer who is often called the father of modern jewelry. The line was about a collection of stunning gouache drawings depicting watches designed by Grima with faces made of thinly sliced gemstones.

Last week, Gem X’ers in London had the most amazing studio visit to Elsa Tierney, the brilliant jewelry sculptor. We got to see her stunning work up close, learn about her inspiration, and hear about her quest to learn about wax (she has traveled as far as Japan to learn different wax recipes).

This week we were dazzled celebrating 75 years of the Bvlgari Serpenti. We viewed decades of the transformation and renovation of the iconic Serpenti and a hypnotic installation by multi-award-winning media artist, Refik Anadol.

On Tuesday, we were over the moon to visit the studio of goldsmith and designer, Anthony Lent. We followed Lent on a journey spanning nearly 50 years from his time studying abroad to returning to the US to begin his career in jewelry.

Dickson Yewn is a scholar in the field of artist jewels. Inspired by the history of ancient China, Yewn creates wearable works of art with the sophisticated craftsmanship of the twenty-first century.

What better way to spend a weekend afternoon than at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC today, visiting the jewelry at TEFAF NYC. Gem X NYC gathered to roam among halls of fresh spring flowers and champagne oyster bars.

When we heard that our friend and Portugal guide, Rui Galopim de Carvalho, had worked on the Crown Jewels, we knew a field trip was in order.

With live peacocks sounding from the nearby bluffs, we were transported to a piece of jewelry heaven during our visit with enamel artist Marianne Hunter at her home studio this week.

The sun came out to play just in time for our visit to the newly opened Jogani Gallery. After taking in the stunning Silverlake vistas from the rooftop, we headed down to the inaugural show featuring Thesis Gems.

“This project is in part a way to make sure I am in control of my own narrative.” The writer Bob Colacello shares this quote by the designer Cora Sheibani in his foreword to the deeply personal new book “Jewels,” published to mark the 20th anniversary of Cora’s eponymous brand. Last Friday, we gathered in London to celebrate this momentous milestone and to marvel at a selection of the beautiful jewels created by Gem X Core member Cora during the past two decades.
