5 Inspiring Jewelry Pieces from This Year's Winter Antiques Show

Cartier Carved Bead Brooch, 1940, from A La Vieille Russie
I've noticed how jewelry has successfully invaded the world of interior design, and I say that in a good way. Interior design is at the nexus of fashion, and jewelry appeals to the design savvy as an extension of where we live and how we decorate. Go to any interiors show, and you'll find jewelry to be a big part of the exhibition space. "Handmade" is one of the hot buzz words in design, and jewelry has always been about hand crafting beautiful wearable art objects. Here are some of my favorites from January's Winter Antiques Show at the Park Avenue Armory in NYC. In this best-dealers-only curated show, I found some of the world's finest jewelry on display.
