About this Event
Join us for an immersive evening as we celebrate 8 years of the AUR Jewelry brand and the unveiling of a brand-new series of light sculptures, representing an exciting expansion beyond wearable ornament. All attendees are invited to shop the experience and acquire pieces directly from both the archive and current collection while enjoying light refreshments.
A Collection Retrospective and Installation Debut
This exhibition transforms the fleeting qualities of illumination into permanent, physical forms—bridging the space between demi-fine jewelry and ambient sculpture.
At the core of the exhibition is a curated retrospective of Aur Jewelry’s archive alongside the latest releases. Visitors will trace the evolution of signature geometric glass and metalwork through the Bezel, Orb, Shard, and Kinetic series. Debuting alongside this curated timeline are a series of light sculptures that mark the designer’s expansion beyond wearable ornament and into independent light entities. All are invited to shop the experience.
Bianca Abreu is a Brooklyn-based sculptor, jeweler, and founder of Aur Jewelry. Holding a BFA from Pratt Institute, she transitioned from large-scale fabrication to wearable kinetic art through glassblowing and metalsmithing. Inspired by optics, light, and geometry, Abreu crafts color-shifting borosilicate glass over a 2,000-degree flame. She sets her hand-worked glass into sterling silver with moving parts, creating dynamic jewelry that dramatically transforms under changing light.
