6:00 p.m.
Manhattan, New York, USA
Gustav Manz produced gem mountings in the early 20th century for Tiffany & Co.; Dreicer; J.E. Caldwell; Marcus; Black, Starr & Frost and other elite stores. Although his name is not well-known to the public, Manz’s skill as a metal artist is recognized by people in the trade, auction houses and museum curators.
Laura Mathews, a book editor and Manz descendant, will present his role as a maker and share insights from his design renderings, business logs and jewelry to shed light on this hidden history.
All are welcome to attend: whether you're a GIA graduate, student, industry associate, hobbyist or guest. Please share this invitation with any others you feel would be interested.
