The Filipino jeweler showcased her collection of vintage jewelry through the ‘Gilded and Golden’ exhibitWhen it comes to ultimate luxury, jewelry is often at the top of the list. With its use of natural gemstones and precious metals, jewelry pieces are not just meant to adorn one’s look; they are status symbols. It takes a long time for artisans to craft these materials into something wearable. Moreover, the process of acquiring gems of a certain color and carat can take years.
While the earth does much of the work in creating the materials for these exquisite pieces, it is the designers who imagine them into something wearable—something that can be considered art. No one understands this better than Nicole Whisenhunt. the jewelry designer behind the Whisenhunt brand shared her passion for both new and vintage jewelry through the “Gilded and Golden” exhibit.
Showcased at the Leon Gallery International Plaza in collaboration with Blah Blah Inc., the exhibit featured an array of vintage jewelry pieces that Nicole has collected over the years. Displayed inside glass boxes were jewelry pieces—from Italian and French designs to those from the Art Deco, 1970s, and 1980s eras—by some of the world's most noted jewelry designers, including Paloma Picasso, Louis Fiessler, Julia Plana, and Marina B, the granddaughter of the founder of Bulgari.
