There is a wonderful jewelry exhibition on display at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum in New York City. The Jewelry of Van Cleef and Arpels is a major success for Cooper Hewitt and it has been extended through July 4. The jewelry in this exhibition is magnificent, and the curators have done an admirable job separating the hundreds of item into several key themes: innovation, transformation, the natural world, exoticism, fashion, and celebrity. VC&A’s mystery setting technique creates absolutely stunning jeweled flowers and brooches - don’t miss the video explaining the technique. A delight for lovers of jewelry and fashion history.
