About this Event
Is It Enamel? will introduce you to the rare and beautiful world of glass enamel, made famous by Tiffany and Lalique. Come see my fine enamel pieces, and stay for a talk on enamel at Jewelry Arts, where I work and teach the craft. Discover my collection, and the hallmarks that distinguish it as true glass enamel.
Valerie Blum creates one-of-a-kind, intricately engineered, handmade jewelry pieces, primarily in 22K gold, silver, and vitreous enamel. Her work draws on ancient metalsmithing and enameling techniques, which she also teaches, and transforms them into modern, original designs. With a focus on craftsmanship and longevity, she strives to defy the fast fashion ethos, crafting unique, finely wrought pieces that are made to be worn and cherished for generations.
Each November, NYC Jewelry Week proudly presents ‘The Week,’ a 7-day celebration dedicated to the art of jewelry. This annual event invites a global audience to explore the world of jewelry through a dynamic mix of in-person and virtual experiences, spanning New York City and beyond.
