How to See the Next Jewelry Masterpiece

"Kunzites are evening stones." Lauren Adriana is reciting jewelry legend as she shows me her Harlequin earrings, a large button of high quality kunzite, discovered in Bangkok, surrounded by pale sapphires, amethyst, and diamonds Adriana then launches into an explanation, citing specific qualities of the stone's chemical makeup This astounding knowledge of what a stone is capable of-both chemically, physically, and when coupled with her singular imagination-is what has always set Adriana apart.

I received another summons last week while I was in Paris for T&C "Stellleeenneeee," wrote Rebecca, "When are you back? You have got to see Lauren's new stuff The color!!" I answered, as I always do, and arrived at Fred Leighton, where Adriana's pieces are shown by appointment only, and entered a small back room.

The stones, as is true of all in Adriana's pieces, are not treated, allowing for the natural variants in each stone to shine through Those kunzites, evening stones by myth, but shining brightly under the light today If you are a jewelry collector you might already know Lauren Adriana's work-you might even have some already-hers is a name that has been whispered through the halls of trade shows and art fairs for the last few years.
