AT MAHNAZ COLLECTION, jewels REVEAL THEIR CULTUREs and HISTORIES and store our memories - From Brazil to FINLAND to the American Pueblos, TO india.
OUR JEWELRY WAS created largely BY independent, TRANSFORMATIONAL Designers and ARTISTs, GOLD, SILVER and other SMITHS, - as well as SELECT Heritage houses - FROM the 1960s onwarD.
WE ADD VALUE TO YOUR PURCHASES of important jewels and watches made by independent makers, known and ONCE KNOWN,as well as longstanding Houses. We do this THROUGH our CULTURAL, historical, provenance, ART AND design research, OUR ORIGINAL PUBLICATIONS, AND OUR EXHIBItions.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MAHNAZ’s UNIQUE COLLECTOR’S EYE , HER GLOBAL EXPERIENE and her SCHOLARSHIP.
SHE specializeS in MID 20th-century JEWELS encounters with modernism. the majority of our jewels are HERE.
MORE RECENTLY WE have been incubating collections of courtly and tribal antique silver and gold, beads, and european couture and Fashion jewelry from the 1960s and 1970s. EACH JEWEL IS AMONG THE BEST REPRESENTATIVES OF it’s TIMEs
WE search FOR JEWELS and timepieces THAT express your identity and culture, alignment with community, personALITY and values ; where Ideas and materials successfully intersect and where innovation takes us from one era of design to the next ONE, dramatically different in this instance.
GOOD KARMA: SUPPORTING THE preservation and reuse of high craftsmanship from earlier eras, preserves our own histories, and exploring contemporary art jewelry will help us all increase re-use, and AVOID THE HARMs OF new GEM and gold EXTRACTION.

INITIAlly, WE COLLECTED WOMEN’S WATCHES FROM Piaget’s stunning venture into hardstones and heavily textured gold IN THE LATE 1960S AND 1970S. We added Audemars PIguet, Chopard, and gubelin. ALSO in our inventory are Gilbert albert watches for Patek Phillipe and omega, and his own organic, rare jewels, line, Andrew Grima’s jewelry, and a sensational watch-Pendant from his “about time” collection for OMEGA. Augustin JUlia Plana’s jewelry and watches with bracelets designed using rare hardstones, wood, and fine diamonds, for SchlegEL and Plana, and CARTIER.
