MAHNAZ COLLECTION IS recognized for ITS expertise in DIVERSE FORMS OF MODERNIST jewelry made by forward-looking CREATORS, from North and South America, Indigenous peoples Of the americaN southwest, and from Britain, ITALY, GERMANY, FRANCE, SWITZERLAND, CANADA, and the Nordic Countries.
covering DISTINCT geographIES, from Helsinki to Hopi, THESE REGIONAL COLLECTIONS ARE YET KNITTED TOGETHER. THEY ARE INSPIRED BY NATURE and LANDSCAPES, ANCIENT MATERIALS LIKE RICH YELLOW GOLD, EARTHY NATURAL STONES SUCH AS TURQUOISE, LAPIS, RHODOCHROSITE, AGATES, AS WELL AS ROUGH DIAMONDS, BAROQUE PEARLS, GREEN TOURMALINES, AND MORE. In the late 1960s and 1970s, jewelers connected with Nature directly, LEAVING GEMSTONES UNFACETED AND FREE FORM. UNLIKE FOR THE HERITAGE HOUSES, DIAMONDS WERE UNAFFORDABLE IN QUANTITY FOR THEM. INSTEAD, THEY TOOK UP TEXTURED GOLD ALONG WITH AMETHYSTS AND CITRINES. THESE DECADES CONTINUE TO HOLD OUR FASCINATION IN FASHION, MANY DECADES LATER. They are, indeed, about style.
Mahnaz Collection started collecting and selling UNIQUE jewelry and timepieces TOGETHER at the gallery’s inception IN 2013. INITIAlly we collected pieces from Piaget ‘s stunning venture into hardstones IN THE LATE 1960S AND 1970S, AS WELL AS textured gold timepieces, Gilbert albert watches for Patek Phillipe and omega, and his own fascinating jewelry line, Andrew Grima’s jewelry, and a sensational watch-Pendant from his “about time” collection for OMEGA, and Augustin JUlia Plana’s jewelry watches for SchlegEL and Plana, along with his jewelry, aMONG OTHERS. Today we HAVE EVOLVED TO sell a vaRiety of design-led timepieces and jewelry watches.
OUR GALLERY IS known for the DEPTH AND QUALITY of our CULTURAL, design, AND TECHNICAL research, OUR ORIGINAL PUBLICATIONS, AND EXHIBITIONS, all OF WHICH help providE the truly innovative, authentic and memorable jewels or timepieces you desire.
