THURSDAY, October 12th: Gem X NYC: Heritage Jewels with Broken English Jewelry

Nestled downtown on a cobblestoned, bustling block of Crosby Street, BrokenEnglish beckons to jewelry-lovers to enter and experience its new home. We are answering that call. Having outgrown the previous space a few doors down, Laura Freedman, who founded the brand in 2006, set her sights on creating a new space to bridge old and new. “It comes from my love of Tiffany and iconic houses of jewelry and my love of New York but of course it is infused with the Broken English flair which is attainable, warm and welcoming,” she told The Adventurine about the new space, designed by NYC-based architect Armand Legardeur.

Next month, you are invited to step into Laura’s world for a special evening on heritage jewels with David Webb’s Head of Archives & Brand Heritage and Gem X Core member, Levi Higgs (@Levi_higgs). Over drinks and light bites, Laura and Levi will guide us through a discussion around curating, collecting, and craftsmanship, with a spotlight on the David Webb jewels in the showroom. Reservations are taken on a first-come first-served basis.

WEDNESDAY, September 20th: Gem X NYC: The Art of Indian Enameling with IVAR Jewelry

Enamel coloring on jewelry is an ancient practice, known as Meenakari, brought to India by the Mughals in the sixteenth century. Inventively blending traditional Indian craftsmanship with a contemporary design perspective. IVAR designer Ritika Ravi is an expert at this art form, which she commonly uses in her designs to create modern heritage pieces. “I am really looking forward to sharing the lacquer enamel technique with my guests. I am passionate about color and this process allows me to play with layers of pigmented resin to get the exact vibrant hue and shine that I want to give the piece,” Ritka shared with us ahead of this event. On September 20th, you are invited into the chic, private boutique of IVAR Jewelry on the UES to see a demonstration and hear more about Meenakari.

The original technique consists of fusing powdered glass into a metal that is then cured by baking in a kiln. Modern practice favors lacquer -or cold -enamel for detail work as this allows the jeweler to experiment with more intense and varied colors. Over cocktails and light bites, Ritka will bring this traditional art form to life and share her love for jewelry making with us. Reservations are taken on a first-come first-served basis.

Please RSVP HERE to reserve your spot. We hope to see you for this special event!

SUNDAY, September 24th: Gem X NYC: A NIGHT AT THE BALLET: BALANCHINE’S JEWELS

Emeralds, Rubies and Diamonds, oh my! Join us for a night at the NYC Ballet for the most bedazzling of shows. Jewels is unique – a work in three parts choreographed by George Balanchine, had a forerunner in the first production of Balanchine’s Symphony in C at the Paris Opera in 1947. In it, each movement of the ballet, then called Le Palais de Cristal, was costumed in a different jewel color. Emeralds moves at Fauré’s mesmerizing pace, while Rubies races like lightning through Stravinsky’s jazz-inflected capriccio. With its symphonic Tschaikovsky score, Diamonds venerates the regality of Balanchine’s classical heritage.

After being inspired by a visit to famed jewelers Van Cleef and Arpels, Balanchine took up this concept again and selected emeralds, rubies, and diamonds for his parure, having also considered pearls and sapphires. At the show’s finale on September 24th, Principal Dancer Russell Janzen will take his final bow on the New York City Ballet stage.

We have a limited number of Orchestra tickets to the finale performance on September 24th at 3pm, priced at $180 per ticket. Headcount is extremely limited so please RSVP below. Reservations are taken on a first-come first-served basis. We hope to see you at this special event. RSVP HERE
