This week, Syz finally exhibits her exquisite jewelry collection named ‘City Lights’ at the Marianne Boesky Gallery on East 64th Street.
Her collection reflects a certain freedom of form and color, her creativity is the way she plays with colors and forms like a small child, who is not bound into any confinements. It is because she was never formally trained as a jeweler, that’s why she is much freer with color and form.
‘Fun’ remains an essential part of ‘City Lights’ collection, which consists of 40-some pieces of incredible finery and exquisite zest. Syz designed a diamond, pearl, white gold and titanium bracelet to look (and stretch) like a Slinky spring and crafted oversize hoop earrings in the shape of barbed wire.Her collection is a whimsical blend of artistry and style; it is not serious but playful, flirty and raunchy. For example, earrings in the shape of actual chandeliers, gemstones carved as Life Savers candy bracelets and floral cocktail rings in which the petals actually quiver reflects certain playfulness, even Even her more classic designs flaunt a playful side. For example, the 180-carat yellow sapphire and diamond cocktail ring that flips to show both sides of the stone.
Moreover, most of her earrings are mismatched sets, as in her diamond, sapphire, garnet and paraiba tourmaline studs shaped like button clusters, one side is blueish, the other, a brownish red, which breathes of freedom and innovation.
The majority of accessories in collection ranges from $10,000 to $100,000 and can go upward to $500,000. All in all, the collection is zesty breath of happy air that is especially made keeping in view the vibrant young soul infused in the heart of women.
