JEWELRY
BY BROOKE MAGNAGHI
MONOGRAM-ATIC
The monogram is currently experiencing
a style renaissance. A case in point: David
Yurman’s chic new pinkie rings with bespoke
engraving available exclusively at its boutiques.
Take the sentiment a step further for the
holidays and get personal with a customized gift.
From initials and zodiac signs to birthstones or special
messages, designers offer a range of possibilities.

Q&A
SABINE G
ON THE LAUNCH OF HER ALLURING
NEW COLLECTION OF GEMS
➼ Where is home and has your
background influenced your work?
BIJOUX BIBLES
This year, there are a number of notable book releases fit for a jewelry aficionado’s library. Among them, we recommend “The Impossible Collection
of Jewelry” by Vivienne Becker, “Suzanne Syz: Art Jewels” and “David
Webb: The Quintessential American Jeweler” by Ruth Peltason — the first
book on this 20th-century master — all available through Assouline. And
what of the essential tomes no collector should be without? We asked François Curiel, international head of jewelry, Christie’s, and president, Christie’s Asia, to share his expert picks. “Amongst more than 150 jewelry books
in my library, my three most cherished are: ‘Cartier’ by Hans Nadelhoffer;
‘JAR,’ published on the occasion of the exhibition ‘The Jewels of JAR, Paris’
at Somerset House in London in 2002–2003; and
‘Famous Diamonds’ by Ian Balfour.”

I don’t know where home is yet. I
feel that even though I have lived
abroad most of my life, Beirut is the
place I will always call my home. My
origins have definitely influenced
my work. There is a certain warmth
and generosity from that part of the
world, and I feel and hope it exists in
my creations.
➼ What inspired your first
collection?
I looked through medieval decorative
arts dating from the 12th century.
I found this box of relics and was
amazed by all the beautiful shapes
drawn on its surface.
➼ What are you working on next?
I am currently working on my next
collection, Harlequin. It is a lot of
fun to work on this new collection
that carries a completely different
feel and inspiration.
EXHIBITIONIST
From Oct. 17 to Dec. 2, Verdura will open its salon doors to exhibit and sell more than 40 rare, vintage treasures
from the house’s archives. The occasion will showcase notable pieces from both Fulco di Verdura and Suzanne
Belperron (whose estate is owned by Verdura), two creative visionaries of 20th-century jewelry design.
