Designed to tease and ignite senses, this week-long installation is a multi-sensory Jewelry Hunt featuring designers Vitae Ascendere, John Brevard and Manya & Roumen.
The setting is an interactive "dinner party" completely void of food. Feast on magnificent fine jewelry and be rewarded with a journey through synesthesia. Savor the euphoric congregation of gems and scents, let the precious jewels dazzle you, as a multitude of smells and unique tastes entice your olfactive buds.
Join us for the OPENING RECEPTION on November 21st, 6-8pm and be one of the first few to relish in this unique sensorial experience.

Vitae Ascendere
The Vitae Ascendere collection is inspired by duality: mathematics and nature, technology and fragility, architecture and whimsy. Part of the collection recognizes the symmetry and historical interest of the Platonic Solids. The pieces begin with the linear symmetry of the form, then extend with playful curves. Enabled by 3D printing technology, the collection embodies elegance, intricacy and strength coupled with organic structures informed by mathematical perfection. Each piece is 3D printed in wax, then cast in 18k gold and hand finished by a craftsman in New York.
John Brevard
A multi-disciplinary artist that explores the realm of architecture, furniture, sculpture and jewelry, John Brevard designs are based on the principles of sacred geometry -- that there are certain geometric shapes and mathematical ratios that exist at all scales in the universe. As such, his jewelry creations tend to feature fractal patterns. In 2015, Brevard launched Thoscene, a patented customization platform that uses parametric modeling software built on astrologically-derived algorithms to create personalized, 3-D printed jewelry and accessories based on inputs such as time, date and location of birth.
Manya & Roumen
Manya & Roumen's pieces are homages to the animal kingdom. They slither, flutter, and perch on the wearer as totems of the strength, resilience, courage, perseverance, and wisdom accumulated by animals over the millions of years that they have roamed this earth. When designing a piece, Manya researches all details related to an animal from the animal's bone structure to social behavior. After drawing a rough sketch, Manya carves the animal from a block of wax, allowing the wax's malleable and forgiving nature to influence the outcome. Cast in precious metals and finished by hand, each intricate piece is handmade in New York’s Hudson Valley.
