Exhibition Unveils the Science Behind Paula Crevoshay's Jewelry

For Paula Crevoshay, jewelry is far more than a pretty accessory or lavish investment piece Now, the best of Crevoshay's work is landing in Los Angeles From December 7 to May 12, some of her most impressive creations will be on display at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County as part of the Art of the Jewel: The Crevoshay Collection exhibition.

Far more than a chance to see some of her one-of-a-kind pieces up close, the show takes a deep dive into the precise science that goes into each creation-tracing mineral to gem to jewel, a process Crevoshay understands deeply "Like almost every artist, I love art supplies and want to buy everything in the shop," she explains, "[but] when I changed mediums from oil and canvas to gold and gemstones, the cost of art supplies increased dramatically, and I knew I had to be very careful Her exacting eye for raw materials is put on full display in pieces like the Montana Bitterroot brooch, which uses close to 300 pink Montana sapphires that, due to the rarity of such vivid pink, took several years for Crevoshay to carefully accumulate.

"Art is so very personal as to what resonates with us the most," says Crevoshay, "What I really want people to experience when they contemplate my work is the feeling we get when we are touched by sublime beauty." . Source
