Comment on The 5 things I don’t know about JAR by Kim

I buzzed the shop last month when I was in town visiting a friend who happens to design for Van Cleef. I was let in and given an appointment but because I was trained at the jewelery bench while attending Rhode Island School of Design….I was asked to leave. No one in the industry is permitted in. They have an attitude of paranoia and exclusivity. Even with money, they would not want to sell me anything. I tried to reason with them that I would not steal or copy, and emphasized that the French Impressionists showed each other’s work- but alas, the manager was unfazed. I left the store quite devastated and questioned whether I wanted to continue being in the “industry”. I dare say, being discriminated is one of the worst things any human can experience from another human. Revolution!

I just love these designs! Mozambique has a special place in my heart, I lived there for nearly 5 years. It was while in Maputo that I made the decision to transition into a new career as a jeweler and designer (I was an international development consultant previously). I now have my own business based in California and am about to graduate with my BFA in metalsmithing. You can check out my work at http://www.alexandraamaro.com.
