Longtime Gem X friends and husband-and-wife duo Simon and Laurie of Mayer & Watt, stopped by NYC and were gracious enough to open their many gem-filled parcel papers. Hosted in Gem X Core Member Aline Shapiro’s bright and beautiful she-shed, members got a first look at the spectacular collection of stones – including a rainbow of various tourmalines, breathtaking sapphires, and unique cuts of quartz. It’s always so much fun to visit with them every year and get the chance to see what new pieces they have curated.

On what felt like the first day of spring in London, Gem X members basked in both sunshine and jewels as we were led through the Collect Art Fair to discover its fascinating offering. Featuring the enchanting book-jewels of Jeremy May, a collection of 100 rings by makers of the Goldsmiths collective, surreal and artistic pieces represented by B.R Gallery and sculptural wearable art by Jessica Jue, this year’s offering was a study of culture, curation and meticulous detail of artists, makers and jewellers both from the UK and abroad. Alice Villa of Italian jewelry house Villa Milano captured what it means today to balance extraordinary Italian craftsmanship with the allure of modern design in her opening speech at Gem X London’s private viewing at Louisa Guinness Gallery. Hosted by Louisa – a specialist in art jewelry – members had the wonderful opportunity to see and try on Villa Milano’s beautiful jewels across a selection of different collections, view early 20th century company archive ledgers and illustrations, and learn about the five generations of sensational skills that creates these modern heirlooms.

Artist and jeweler Eveli Sabatie’s origin story is the stuff of legendary fables. Anchored in exploration and self-discovery and underscored by the mentorship of a jeweling master, it is a tale one can both delight in and learn from. Having left her native Morocco to study at the Sorbonne in Paris and Freie Universitat in Berlin, Eveli settled in Arizona in 1968 within the Hopi community, after a chance encounter led to an invitation to visit. This fateful move connected her with none other than Charles Loloma, who trained her in jewelry craft – her period of “creative explosion” from 1970-2000 – in which she honed her lapidary skills and distinctive aesthetic.

THE SPIRIT OF THE EARTH: THE JEWELRY OF EVELI

Elizabeth Taylor is a true idol in our world under this category, and we are hard pressed to find another woman who comes close to her stature. We held an intimate discussion on Elizabeth Taylor – as told by two friends who researched, understood, and loved her collection deeply: Ruth Peltason, editor of Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair with Jewelry, and Daphne Lingon, Head of Jewelry at Christie’s Americas. In this behind-the-scenes conversation in which Daphne and Ruth, they recounted their study of Elizabeth Taylor’s dazzling jewelry collection.
