NYC Designer Collective Space 85 Debuts Holiday Collection
November 10, 2020 by Emili Vesilind
"Space 85—a New York City collective of primarily women jewelry designers that also operates an online gallery of the same name—has unveiled a holiday-inspired collection featuring one-of-a-kind jewels from 19 designers based in the greater New York City area.
The “collection” is a charming mishmash of gorgeous, handmade jewelry ranging from pricey pieces in 22k gold with diamonds to affordable looks in sterling silver. Prices range from $125 to over $13,000.
Many in the Space 85 collective are one-person operations, but they’re bound to their fellow designers through their downtown New York City workshop, where they craft their pieces.
Elise Thompson, founder of Mejia Jewelry, started the collective after studying for 17 years in the wax studio where the workshop now resides, and where she enjoyed and appreciated her peers’ work. She spearheaded the online retail component for the studio, now simply called Space 85, to market the work of the tight-knit community directly to consumers.
The holiday collection features plenty of beautiful, all-season pieces, and seasonally appropriate jewels, too—including Shari K. Stadel’s icy snowflake pendant, $125 (pictured, top); Angelica Cammarota’s 18k gold, ruby slice earrings, $2,235 (see below); and Mejia Jewelry’s sterling silver 1.93 ct. green chrysoberyl ring, $1,850 (see below). ...
