New York, NY (November 3, 2025)

The Store at MAD, the retail arm of the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), presents RE:FINE Holiday 2025, an in-store shopping event that showcases 19 visionary international artists redefining contemporary fine jewelry. Launching during NYC Jewelry Week, RE:FINE invites members of the press and public to a festive cocktail reception at the Museum with artists and collectors on Thursday, November 20, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. ET.

“RE:FINE is a celebration of innovation and artistry in fine jewelry,” said Sathya Balakumar, Deputy Director of Retail Operations for The Store at MAD. “Our artists reimagine the idea of the modern heirloom, each piece telling a story of craftsmanship and creativity. This season, we’re thrilled to introduce new voices alongside returning favorites, inviting our community to discover jewelry that’s both deeply personal and beautifully designed.”

Featured artists making their RE:FINE debut include Ladha, Mara Labell, Occasionally Sweet, Preeti Sandhu, and Ritique by Ritika Atwal. Angel Chang, the artist behind Occasionally Sweet, seeks to create a pensive moment for the wearer through her blend of organic silhouettes. Meanwhile, Lindsay Knox, designer of Ladha, conceives of jewelry as “seasoning for the self.” Her line of wearable pieces draws inspiration from the Swahili word ladha, meaning “flavor.”

Returning standout artists include Christine Fail, Elizabeth Garvin, Hannah Allene, Joan Hornig, Lika Behar, Margo Morrison, Margoni, Mateo New York, Maura Green, Nikki Nation, Page Sargisson, Petra Class, Sethi Couture, and Wwake.
