I met up with some old friends for dinner last night in New York. One of them was my friend Ward, whom I first met while we were both working at Tiffany & Co. in New York in the early 1990's. Since then, Ward has had a number of interesting design positions working for Ralph Lauren and David Yurman, amongst others. In 2009, he debuted his own collection at Bergdorf Goodman. His "American Chinoise" collection is a truly beautiful and inspired collection of fine jewelry which has influences in early to mid 20th century American Chinoiserie design but with a take that is thoroughly fresh and contemporary.
