Just announced by Spring Show NYC, The Manhattan Art & Antique Center’s Leah Gordon is among the illustrious ranks of the dozen international fine and estate jewelry dealers chosen for showcase this year. The Show’s “Bling for Spring” press release features the moodily luminous piece above as one of the “rarest of the rare eye-grabbers that dealers are trotting out to jewelry aficionados.”

Like the Surrealist painter Dali, other groundbreaking artists sometimes turned their searing vision to wearable art, including Braque, Lichtenstein, Picasso and Art Smith, all of whom are featured in Leah Gordon’s curated collection. Gordon, a dealer for 25 years, also specializes in Taxco jewelry of the William Spratiling school, Georg Jensen and Wiener Werkstätte. Here is a sampling of her inspired pieces.
