6 Artful Jewelry Designers to Discover at This Year’s Salon Art + Design Fair in New York

The 14th edition of the Salon Art + Design returns to the Park Avenue Armory from November 6–10, promising a fresh and unique perspective on collectible design. While most known for presenting an exceptional array of furniture, decorative arts, and fine art from the world’s top galleries, the fair’s 14th edition sees an exciting spotlight cast on high jewelry, cementing the genre’s place in the realm of art and design. This year, there is a stunning roster of jewelers—including DYNE, Fernando Jorge, Cora Sheibani, DK Farnum, Yvel, and Rosior—all presenting bold new pieces of wearable art.

Below, discover the highlights.

1. DYNE

The most ambitious presentation comes from jewelry designer Sarah Ysabel Narici, founder of her eponymous label DYNE, and fine artist Kara Chin. Presenting at Salon for the first time, their collaborative exhibition, titled “Protection,” is an evocative, cross-disciplinary collaboration that blends ancient ritual with biotech aesthetics to explore themes of care, safety, and resilience. Their project, set on a ceremonial table designed by Studio MBM, reimagines jewelry as shelter, exploring how form, color and repetition can create moments of stability in a time of uncertainty.

“I’m excited to participate at Salon because it offers a space to respond to a brief that feels both collaborative and intellectually alive,” Narici tells Galerie ahead of the opening day. “Kara Chin and I approached a shared theme through our respective practices—Kara through ceramics, myself through jewelry, guided by the same instinct to begin not with form, but with a question. Our process is research-driven, rooted in reflection before design. Each piece becomes an answer to an idea that matters to us.” Highlights include DYNE’s new “Bud” jewels, encasing the body in forms that balance strength and fragility, as well as Chin’s innovative ceramic works, inspired by fossils, saunas, and red-light therapy rooms.

The British-Italian designer Narici, a rising star known for her cutting-edge, one-of-a-kind designs and limited-edition pieces, attended the prestigious Central Saint Martin art school in London and worked with the likes of Alexander McQueen, Marina Bulgari, and Lorraine Schwartz before starting her own business. An artistic sensibility informs everything she does. “Our works form a conversation where jewelry, art, and furniture each interpret the same inquiry through different materials and scales,” she says. “What connects us is a shared belief that design can think, that objects, when made with intention, can hold meaning beyond their utility or beauty.”

2. Fernando Jorge

This year’s edition welcomes the return of Brazilian high jeweler Fernando Jorge. Following a successful debut last year and the recent opening of his new showroom in New York City, the London-based designer is presenting “Deep Vertex.” Known for his signature fluid lines and use of exceptional and often organic materials, Jorge’s latest collection is an interesting evolution of the structurally rigorous “Vertex” series, which launched in June. 

This new chapter—which was recently on view at PAD London—shifts the focus from sharp geometry to a deeper material experimentation, resulting in designs that are both visually powerful and tactile. Defined by a subtle tension of opposites, Jorge juxtaposes materials of similar hues in different materials to striking effect. Carved ebony is set against onyx, for example, or the lustrous dark red of Bloodwood complements the glowing red stone of carnelian, while cream opal sits alongside the iridescent hue of mother of pearl. 

3. Cora Sheibani

Acclaimed London-based designer Cora Sheibani is unveiling her latest collection titled “Skin Deep,” which explores concepts of vulnerability and transformation. Here, Sheibani makes her first major use of cultured pearls, featuring luminous Akoya, Edison, and Tahitian varieties. By pairing these fragile, organic forms with highly polished, often geometric metals, she creates a dramatic, poetic tension. Her jewels, all handcrafted by top artisans in Switzerland, use the natural luminescence and imperfections of the pearl as a metaphor for human resilience, which ties in to her passion for sustainable craftsmanship and design. 

4. Rosior

Run by the brother-and-sister team of José and Graça Rosas, Rosior is a highly exclusive, in-the-know high jewelry house that creates one-of-a-kind bijoux for a select clientele. Known for its exuberant use of color and innovative design, the jewels are only sold by appointment in their atelier in Portugal or at premier art-and-design fairs such as Salon. The atelier was established by José Rosas in 1978 to create jewels for houses such as Tiffany & Co. and Saks Fifth Avenue, but he soon created his own collection. Each piece is entirely produced by hand by a small team of specialized artisans in Porto, creating fewer than 150 jewels a year. 

5. Yvel

Established in Jerusalem in 1968, Yvel is known for creating astonishing art-inspired high jewelry that blends craftsmanship and trailblazing innovation, often featuring the baroque pearl. Using exceptionally large, often multicolored South Sea pearls as their centerpieces, Yvel treats each gem as a sculptural foundation for the entire piece. These organic, asymmetrical forms dictate the final design, which is then accented with diamonds and gold to create a stunning juxtaposition. A highlight at the fair is a necklace and earrings crafted in a deep ocean-blue titanium adorned with diamonds.

6. DKF Estate Jewelry

DKF Estate Jewelry presents a carefully curated selection of exceptional, one-of-a-kind 20th-century pieces. The collection is defined by the discerning eye of founder Dana Kraus, whose background in luxury publishing informs her search for great design. Based in New York, DKF’s unique inventory showcases signed works from celebrated masters like Verdura, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Belperron, alongside newer creators.
