\u201cNone of our designers are driven by trends, they create unique pieces \u2014 conversation starters,\u201d says jewellery designer Rosena Sammi, Founder, The Jewelry Edit that ends on 29th October. Another highlight of the pop-up is The India Edit featuring Agaro, Estaa, Hanut Singh, Misho and Studio Renn.<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Rosena Sammi designed jewellery collections under her namesake line for over a decade. Her creations were sold at leading department stores in the country and worn by A-Listers, including Rihanna and Blake Lively. Rosena was disenchanted with the rise of fast fashion, amidst fierce competition in the jewellery market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI became disillusioned making collections for stores and boutiques who were driven by the race to see who could make the cheapest jewellery the fastest. That was never what jewellery was about for me. Throughout history, jewellery has always been about storytelling and self-expression. I want to go back to that idea. So was born The Jewelry Edit, a new way to shop for jewellery. It\u2019s personal, it\u2019s not mass-produced, and it tells a story. The Jewelry Edit melds compelling brands that draw on the best of our traits such as female empowerment, creativity, sustainability, and accountability,\u201d adds the founder of the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosena is keen to move away from \u201cfast fashion\u2019s disposable lifestyle and back towards the world of artisanship, individuality and self-awareness.\u201d The Jewelry Edit, explains Rosena, is an e-commerce jewellery boutique on a mission to elevate the voices of diverse designers and curate jewellery focused on sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate the second anniversary and the launch of its fine jewellery offerings, Rosena decided to organise a two-week pop-up in New York at 485 Park Avenue \u2013 the first full store and first pop-up in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fine jewellery pieces from brands such as Cadar, Silvia Furmanovich, Jenna Blake, Bea Bongiasca, Lorraine West, Pippa Small and Ten Thousand Things, among others, are part of the event. \u201cWe approached it by looking for designers with real personality and a real perspective. None of our designers are driven by trends, they create unique pieces \u2014 conversation starters,\u201d says Rosena. Case in point Cadar. \u201cNo one creates geometric signatures like Cadar,\u201d adds Rosena. \u201cHer pieces reflect the technical wizardry that defies description. I love the way the pieces move and catch the light.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jenna Blake, according to Rosena, has an irresistible modern take on classic pieces. \u201cI love her use of colour. It\u2019s a great addition to any jewellery wardrobe.\u201d Bea Bongiasca\u2019s \u201cyoung, fresh and fun\u201d approach to jewellery proved to be a big draw. \u201cI love the uniquely colourful Italian perspective her line conveys,\u201d Rosena adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was quite drawn to Pippa\u2019s creations and her \u201cthoughtful approach to jewellery making and her passion for giving back to the communities she works with.\u201d Rosena is thrilled to carry a selection of pieces by the London-based designer, including the Turquoise Mountain necklaces that give back 100 per cent of the profits to training young Afghan refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lorraine West is part of the pop-up tribe. \u201cIt\u2019s been an honour to have our work showcased at The Jewelry Edit\u2019s first pop-up. Rosena has curated a lovely point of view from a plethora of the world\u2019s leading designer jewellers. She has a keen eye for choosing jewellery for her shop with excellent craftsmanship, uniqueness and a compelling story the pieces tell,\u201d says the Brooklyn-based designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rosena, who has worked with Lorraine on a number of projects, points out: \u201cShe is bold and brave and that is reflected in her work,\u201d adds Rosena. The Ascension Nail Halo Rings dreamed up by Lorraine are inspired by the \u2018Higher Self\u2019 and the principle of \u201cilluminating your inner being so your outer shines bright.\u201d The Abstract Palette Earrings are inspired by a paint palette with a twist. \u201cI have designed these earrings as a tribute to all people that are painting a new world through their positive cause in life,\u201d says Lorraine. Beyonce wore these earrings in her film, Black is King, and put the spotlight on these statement pieces. \u201cWe enjoy working with Rosena and are looking forward to growing our partnership with The Jewelry Edit,\u201d adds Lorraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The India Edit \u2013 featuring Agaro, Estaa, Hanut Singh, Misho and Studio Renn \u2013 is another highlight of the pop-up. \u201cWith the India Edit our goal is to get customers more acquainted with the brands. We have enjoyed hosting India-themed events and look forward to sharing more of their stories,\u201d says Rosena, who has collaborated with friend and art, design and fashion writer Priyanka Khanna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have known Priyanka for many years. We first got to know each other when I designed some Sanskrit jewellery for her when she was the Fashion Features Editor at Vogue, India. We have stayed in touch, and I kept her in the loop as I launched and developed The Jewelry Edit. We were looking for ways to collaborate and we thought celebrating Indian voices in the jewellery industry was a great way \u2013 and in keeping with my mission. I tapped her for her eye and expertise in finding cult brands that aren\u2019t as well known in the US market that are doing things unusual and unexpected, especially when it comes to how the US market perceives Indian jewellery. And she delivered! From the recycled aluminium and diamond pieces at Estaa to the stunning enamel work from Agaro, I have been thrilled with the designs and the response from customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mumbai-based Estaa\u2019s statement earrings from the Akasa collection is on display. \u201cThe designs are inspired by the Vedanga Jyotisha, an ancient Vedic text on astronomy and astrology. It the study of light from nine heavenly bodies that operate on humans through the principal of bandhu, in Sanskrit meaning \u2018connections that link the outer and inner worlds.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delighted to be a part of the India Edit in New York and by-appointment events in Los-Angeles, Pratik Shah, founder of Estaa, says: \u201cWe are very grateful to The Jewelry Edit for having us as their partner in their wonderful endeavour to present not only jewellers from diverse backgrounds but also supporting us in our journey towards advocating a shift towards a sustainable jewellery future.\u201d For the Neel collection, Pratik explores aquatic creatures \u2013 octopus, starfish and koi fish populate his \u201crecycled aluminium\u201d line. The designer hopes that the \u201cbeauty of the diverse forms and colours for the jewels would be an envoy for the conservation of its inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the anvil is a special event with Hanut Singh for the Asia Society. \u201cI invited Hanut to speak with me at this event in New York. We are doing a \u2018fireside chat,\u2019 where we will explore the impact of Indian jewellery design and jewellery making techniques on the larger jewellery landscape. With such impeccable style and beloved jewellery \u2013 and a pedigree that\u2019s iconic, when it comes to Indian style, I could think of no one better,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
