In the magical garden of Greater Light, one of the Nantucket Historical Associations most treasured properties, interior designer Marla Mullen Sanford and jewelry designer and owner of The Vault Katherine Jetter took thirty-five women on a bejeweled journey to preview the launch of Jetter’s new “Lady of The Rings” collection. Joining Jetter and Sanford was a panel consisting of famed Brazilian fine jewelry designer Fernando Jorge, the NHA’s chief curator Michael Harrison, and Abby Huhtanen, director of fine jewelry at Moda Operandi, who moderated the discussion. Guests listened to amazing stories about the impact of travel and trade on jewelry design while dining on a delicious PPX catered lunch. They also looked at never-before-seen antique jewelry from the NHA archives, and got to 'sip and shop' new jewelry collections with a portion of the proceeds going to the NHA.
