Showpieces

“Alexandra Jefford’s jewelry is more sculpture than accessory, which is probably why London art heavies like Jay Jopling and Gary Hume are snapping it up. Jopling was so smitten, he not only bought a ring for his wife, the photographer Sam Taylor-Wood, but also gave Jefford a one-day show at his gallery in St. James’s. The jeweler is drawn to vibrant colors and geological oddities like the trapiche sapphire in this brooch (about $5,580). ”
