The curator selected the designs after months of research.

The 16th edition of a weeklong sale called “LOOT: Mad About Jewelry” has opened at the MAD (Museum of Arts and Design) Museum in New York City, writes Observer. The article says that 44 artists from 17 different countries were selected by curator Bryna Pomp after months of research. The show’s mission is to “provide increased visibility for emerging artists” while also serving as a venue for commerce that aims to feel more like an “art gallery than open bazaar.”

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
