Donna Chambers
Donna Chambers, fine jewelry goldsmith, designer and entrepreneur, has achieved an enviable level of success that began with a gifted past and ambitious goals. Born and raised in Ossining, New York, Donna was recognized at an early age by Vera Linens and later by Oleg Cassini for her talents in artistic design. Vera hired Donna as a teenager to create textile designs for her multi-million dollar design operation that was located in Ossining.
Gabriel Ofiesh
This eye-opening commercial success sparked the beginnings of a solo and largely self-taught career designing and making gold, platinum and silver jewelry. Over the next few years, he traveled throughout Virginia to rural craft fairs, and then expanded his schedule to larger events on the east coast. With the help of workshops with Hekki Seppa and Ronald Pearson and a gem-setting class at the Revere Academy, he started to articulate his design ideas and form a cohesive body of work.
Alashan Cashmere
The feel, warmth and beauty of cashmere is unrivaled. Very few fibers can elicit such emotion and excitement. The name Alashan honors the area in western Inner Mongolia that is home to the world's finest cashmere. Goats thrive in this harsh region that has the perfect combination of geography, climate and diet to produce superior cashmere – long, fine, white fiber that embrace vibrant dyes and can be spun into the finest of yarns.
Kathryn McCoy
To say Kathryn McCoy has a discerning eye for design would be an understatement. She began her career in the fashion industry in New York City’s famed Garment District bringing her discerning eye for style to many high-profile designers. It wouldn’t be long before she shifted her focus from the elegance of the runway to the natural beauty of the earth.
Bora
BORA Jewelry of Brooklyn began with three brothers' vision in a small, makeshift New York studio. Today, the Bora collection showcases a variety of handcrafted rings, pendants, earrings, and cuffs.
Cynthia Chuang
These pieces invoke tradition in depicting the insects, butterflies and fish that have appeared in Chinese art for centuries. However, more importantly, it is the humoristic and whimsical nature of their wildlife jewelry that wins the love of so many. The vivid colors of the pieces, witty expressions of every character, and countless ways to wear them, bring jewelry design to a whole new level.
