Jewelry Jaunts | Details

Join NYC Jewelry Week Founder Bella Neyman for a five-week exploration of New York City’s rich jewelry landscape. This curated course offers participants the unique opportunity to engage directly with some of the most remarkable and unconventional jewels created over the past two centuries.

Through guided visits to distinguished public institutions and exclusive private collections, attendees will experience jewelry history firsthand. The program also includes rare access to the studios of prominent contemporary designers, providing insight into both historical and modern practices.

Each session will focus on a specific period or theme in jewelry, presented by esteemed curators, gallerists, collectors, dealers, and makers.
