Celebrating Women
in Design
BY JENNIFER HEEBNER
The Jewelry Book highlights three female designers with strong
identities and striking style.
In an issue devoted to women and the powerhouse
businesses they create, TJB carved out a special section
to cast a spotlight on not one but three storied female
designers and their unique approaches to design. On the
following pages, learn how a Turkish transplant to the
U.S. interprets the Mediterranean-infl uenced jewelry of
her upbringing to modern-day collectibles, why a breast
cancer survivor is updating her niche of bohemian-style
imperfection, and how the refi ned training of a classical
pianist translates to high-end jewelry.
