Collector Susan Grant Lewin at the Tea & Talk panel on May 16, according to the Cooper Hewitt on Twitter: “One of the things I love about contemporary jewelry is that it is not dependent on gem stones. I love a piece that innovates, that is exciting, that breaks ground.” (photo by Asya Danilova / Meniscus Magazine)
