Summer Offerings New York – Don’t miss the fashion jewelry exhibit of  Barbara Berger at the Museum of Arts & Design.

A jewelry collection of a woman who can purchase the finest gems, but has an extensive collection of costume jewelry. Featuring over 450 pieces of fashion jewelry by designers such as Miriam Haskell, Marcel Boucher, Balenciaga, Kenneth Jay Lane, and Gripoix, this exhibition is an eye-opening assortment of necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, many of them one-of-a-kind, drawn from her world-renowned collection.

The exhibition is accompanied by a major publication published by Assouline: Fashion Jewelry – I’ve spent hours drooling over the exquisite pages and will make a pilgrimage to NY before summer slips away.

Iradj Moini has captured my attention more than a few times. Stunners, one of his necklaces is a guaranteed distraction from a bad hair day!

Offering Divine Diva Drama, this high end costume jewelry shop is packed with beautifully dressed Palm Beach Social Butterfly’s. Noodle in and engage the attention of a lovely bejeweled saleswoman; plan on spending hours trying on the fun faux stones. Each area of the store specializes in a look:  pearls, jet crystals, Swarovski crystals, cocktail rings topped with cupcake size rubies and pearls. 
Oh my, I wonder if the IRS will accept jewels as payment?  The airline collected a ransom for my bulging bag!
