Whose Jewelry Box Would You Raid?

Rui Galopim de Carvalho
Founder, Portugal Gemas Academy

If there is a celebrity whose jewel box I would like to raid, it is Joel Arthur Rosenthal. This American-born jewelry artist, known as JAR, is a living legend, a mysterious and fascinating character, and a unanimously respected jeweler among his peers. 

He has made extraordinary jewels with extraordinary gems for extraordinary people, being a master of perfection and detail. 

I’m pretty sure that his jewelry box has unique and as-yet-unveiled art pieces that nobody has seen before, surely with fine and unusual colored gemstones, pearls, precious corals, ebony, diamonds… but it’s a mystery because no one knows exactly what he is up to and what he has produced and kept. Opening his jewelry box would be like the exciting discovery of a whole new world of secret, unseen glittering art pieces. 

Spot on. Many thanks to Rapaport.
