New York City Jewelry Week to Highlight Sustainability and Diversity

New York City Jewelry Week cofounders Bella Neyman and JB Jones are thinking big for the week’s second outing. “Since NYCJW was only born last year, our attendees really did not know what to expect,” Neyman explained. “Our most heard feedback was that we had too many events…so we went and made it even bigger this year!” She says the second iteration of the consumer-facing show has “grown in every way possible” with almost 200 events all over the city. “Generally speaking, we tried to fill in the gaps this year, and expand on some of last year’s offerings.” The week again incorporates cultural institutions around New York and will host events at Cooper Hewitt, Neue Galerie New York, the Museum of Arts and Design, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and UrbanGlass, with new additions like the New-York Historical Society and Bard Graduate Center. “All of these institutions support jewelry but not everyone might know this,” Neyman explained. “So we wanted to shine a light on their efforts.” Children’s programming has also been added. “We believe in starting them young,” Neyman quipped, highlighting that “several institutions are hosting workshops for teens, like the 92nd Street Y.” This year sees the week include five major estate jewelry galleries
