 | A
respected dealer in mid-century art and antiques, Brian Nagourney has expanded
into jewelry design. For his new collection, Brian has fashioned a unique line
incorporating fresh-water pearls, macrame and semi-precious stones. The pearls
are culled from the lakes and rivers of China, yielding lustrous, asymmetrical
beads distinctive for their capricious details. Brian uses these pearls with their
irregularities intact, combining them with coral or turquoise, strung on a contrasting
black cord. The finished necklaces and bracelets realize Brian's stated goal to
infuse traditional, "primitive" methods with a touch of the modern.
The result is jewelry that is one-of-a-kind and extremely versatile - flattering
in any casual or semi-formal setting. Brian Nagourney Jewelry can be found in
fine stores including: Nanette Lepore (New York, London, Boston, Las Vegas and
Beverly Hills), Vercon in New York City and online at Ravinstyle.com.
Prices range from $65-$300. |
