New York, NY (May 10, 2022)

The Store at MAD, the retail arm of the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD), is pleased to present RE:FINE Spring 2022, a highly curated group of 18 forward-thinking international artists who offer a refreshing alternative to the conventional world of fine jewelry. Following a press preview on Wednesday, May 11 at 5:00 p.m. at The Store’s 2 Columbus Circle location, the collection will launch with an opening cocktail party and shopping event on Thursday, May 12, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Many of the artists will be present for the opening night event, and guests will enjoy a 20% savings on fine jewelry purchases all evening.

“Four years ago, we set out to do something different and launched an ongoing Fine Jewelry initiative in a museum store,” said Franci Sagar, RE:FINE’s creator and a consultant at MAD for Retail and Brand Development. “Today, The Store at MAD is the only museum store in the world making a serious commitment to selling fine jewelry. Jewelry is at the core of the MAD’s DNA and we are thrilled to showcase and celebrate these fine jewelry artists who are redefining the modern heirloom.”

Marking the eighth seasonal edition of RE:FINE (previously known as Redefining Fine Jewelry), the jewelers featured in RE:FINE Spring 2022 infuse excellence in craftsmanship with design, incorporating innovative techniques along with the highest-quality precious metals and non-traditional gemstones. Their work is shaping the tastes of today’s jewelry collectors—those who embrace creativity and self-expression in defining their personal style.

This season’s collection features: Agas & Tamar, Agneta Bugyte, Annie Fensterstock, Anthony Lent, Baiyang Qiu, Bleecker & Prince, Elizabeth Garvin, Joan Hornig, Kate Maller, Lika Behar, Margoni, Nava Zahavi, Olivia Shih, Stella Flame, Todd Pownell, Tony Malmed, Petra Class, and .925 Suneer.
