Club Talks: Beth Bernstein on Collecting, Legacy and a Life in Jewellery
I have known Beth Bernstein for close to 15 years and have always admired the way she looks at jewellery. Where others see decoration, she sees meaning, whether it’s the emotion behind a design or the life a piece has already lived.
Beth has experienced the world of jewellery from so many angles. Across decades as a fashion editor, stylist, designer, collector and author, Beth has seen the industry from the inside and written about it with warmth, intelligence and genuine love. Readers may already know her from The Modern Guide to Antique Jewellery and The Modern Guide to Vintage Jewellery. With the release of her latest book, Jewelry Creators: Dynamic Duos and Generational Gems, I spoke to her about the many paths that led her here, and what a life in jewellery can teach you about taste, legacy and memory.
