A sculptor above all, Egyptian-born American artist Ibram Lassaw extended his oeuvre to jewellery design, rendering the essence of his large-scale abstract pieces in miniature to decorate the bodies of art connoisseurs. Lassaw’s inspirations were the early works of Modernism and abstract Constructivism, which evolved into exploring biomorphic forms. Architectonic silhouettes blooming with metal droplets are a signature of his design process, exemplified by this striking 1980s collar necklace, rendered in vermeil – a process whereby sterling silver is gilded with a weighty layer of gold.

Mahnaz Ispahani Bartos, a greatly admired New York curator and collector, discovered her love of jewellery as a child through gifts from her Pakistani mother and Iranian grandmother, including Persian turquoise earrings and rings, Meenakari bangles and an Omega watch designed by Andrew Grima. Witness to two revolutions, she set aside this young love for 25+ years of scholarship on matters of global wars and peace. In 2013, however, she returned to her passion, jewellery, turning it into a profession with the launch of Mahnaz Collection, a gallery celebrating global beauty. Her eclectic curation spans renowned and lesser-known names from various eras, all united by exceptional originality, artistry and craftsmanship.
