Gem X Marks the Spot for Jewellery Debate and Knowledge

We are still pinching ourselves because we can’t quite believe we are in the Financial Times! And we could not have dreamed up a better honor than being called “the spot for jewelry debate and knowledge.” Thank you to every one of you, our fellow members, for helping to create Gem X and make it the club that it is today.

Gem X NYC kicked off the new year by gathering at the Park Avenue Armory for a bejeweled stroll around one of our favorite annual events – The Winter Show. We made stops to visit Simon Teakle Fine Jewelry (hello major emeralds), Macklowe Gallery (opals with champagne is a divine combination) Didier and Koopman Rare Art. Our tour guide Levi Higgs was enchanted by this antique Cartier unicorn brooch.

Members gathered to kick off the official Gem X Season in London with an enchanting evening with Anabela Chan. Anabela’s joaillerie and jewelry are pure magic; however, her work is as rooted in science, innovation and sustainability as it is in art, we learned. We discussed her approach to making jewelry, from the use of synthetic gems to environmentally-conscious cultured pearls to metal from recycled soda cans to the planting of mangrove trees.

Amid the bustle of the Miami Antiques Show last week, Gem X attendees took an evening off to gather for dining, dishing and more at Zz’s Club. Over delicious food and drinks, we chatted about our latest projects, standout jewelry finds, and favorite gemstones. Also in impromptu show and tell, we delighted in members’ jewels like Lauren Deyoung’s articulated Cartier Paris bracelet and Cora Sheibani’s “Pottering Around” bracelet and earrings.
