I’ve worked on and off for INSTORE over the past 15 years, and during that time, I’ve written five books. For my latest, Jewelry’s Shining Stars: The Next Generation: 45 Women Visionaries (ACC Artbooks, End June 2024), Editor-in-Chief Trace Shelton told me: “It will be more fun to hear about the book from your point of view.” I wrote the original Jewelry’s Shining Stars in 2013 based on seeing such talent during my years as Senior Editor for INDESIGN and INSTORE. So now I am following the advice of one of my favorite editors and giving you a sneak peek at the book through this gallery of some of the irrepressible women designers in this new book and their own words about their collections.
Before we launch into the gallery, a little history about the books. Click through to read more.
