Cartier, From the Love Bracelet to the Tank: Where to Start

The Cartier Love bracelet and the Tank watch are two of the house's best-known designs, and each began as one clear idea. I sort the jewelry and watches and say where I would start.

Emily P. Wheeler started making beaded jewelry for her mother as a child on Southwest road trips with her architectural-photographer father, and introduced her fine jewelry line in 2017. She trained at the GIA as a colored-gemstone specialist, and it shows in a palette built around saturated stones rather than pure diamond sparkle

Will Silver Tarnish On Skin

Silver can tarnish on skin when sulphur compounds and moisture react with exposed metal. Storage helps slow that change, but wearing a piece against damp skin or leaving it in open air can make the surface look different

Jennifer Fisher Jewelry: From a Gold Dog Tag to Earrings

Jennifer Fisher was a stylist who made her first piece, a gold dog tag for her son, Shane, because nothing on the market matched her own style, then turned it into a line in 2006 after Uma Thurman wore one on a magazine cover. Notes on the hoops, bangles and necklaces built for daily wear.

Stackable Rings: Thin Bands, Signets and Stones From Aurate New York

Stackable rings work best as thin bands, signets and stone rings that sit well together. I put together the Aurate New York pieces I would wear as a set.

Oscar de la Renta dresses come from a designer who left Santo Domingo at 18 to study painting in Madrid. I go through the dresses, from the Peony Faille midi to a floral-embroidered tulle mini halter, then the jewelry.

David Yurman Jewelry: The Tribeca Story Behind the Cable

David Yurman started in 1980 as a Tribeca studio project between a sculptor and a painter, and the twisted Cable design they hand made a few years later became the house's whole vocabulary. Notes on how that one motif carries across bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces, and why one piece usually says more than four.
