New York as the fashion capital and center of the art world inspired one savvy woman to create AccessoryArtists.com. A curated platform for emerging jewelry artists. The idea certainly has a nice bling to it. The site offers truly distinctive quality crafted pieces and a chance for designers, many of whom are from New York to showcase their work in a gallery like virtual environment. As founder Marcy Roth puts it: “We like to work with the “small guy”. Even though we have all seen tough times and are all competing with less expensive imports in many fashion categories, we still believe in the talented artisan and know that we are not alone. We also know others appreciate the creativity, workmanship and love that goes into each piece and collection of jewelry we offer.” Indeed, looking at the collections Accessory Artists has gathered is like a museum of beauty. Which is exactly what Roth intended. She says: “Just as one can appreciate art. Jewelry is really powerful, it’s symbolic, statement making, and really can tie an outfit together.” Nowhere is the appreciation of great jewelry seen more than in New York. Especially where Black is the uniform, and jewelry becomes a great way to personalize the black canvas. Accessory Artists features a range of designers many of whom do their designs and work right in New York City, the place where the company began. Home grown artists include such names as Nettie Kent, Kelacala Q, Oblik Atelier and Auden to name a few. Roth and her team travel around and visit the designers in their studios to hand pick the best of the best. Accessoryartists.com
