Perhaps this isn’t the type of jewelry that you’d wear to your average Mother’s Day luncheon, but boy, does it capture the eye.

Throughout May, Aaron Faber Gallery, located at 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY, will present the dramatic jewelry in an exhibition that explores the striking works of five legendary international jewelry artists:  “Dramatic Jewelry: The Five Masters” showcases the extraordinary works of British jeweler, Charlotte De Syllas; Italian jeweler,Paolo Marcolongo; American jeweler, Michael Good; and German jewelers Peter Schmid of Atelier Zobel and Tom and Jutta Munsteiners.

Here are a few examples:

What a wonderful weekend in Arizona. When our jewelry meets a good cause, its a very fulfilling feeling. We were lucky enough to take part in this wonderful event as well as add a piece to the silent auction.

The Wishes for Wildlife benefit is designed to answer the community’s need for quality wildlife rehabilitation, environmental education, and conservation services.

Liberty Wildlife’s mission is to “nurture the nature” of Arizona. Founded in 1981, Liberty Wildlife has nurtured over 71,000 birds, mammals and reptiles. Together we can help thousands more as they struggle with urban encroachment into their native habitat and rapidly changing environment. Please join us in preserving our unique wildlife heritage for future generations.

Below is our contribution to the Silent Auction portion of the benefit: a sea anemone ring with a blue topaz in the center.

When I read about this ritual, I had to ask myself (before I read the answer) what could tarring and feathering a spouse-to-be possibly symbolize? And how the heck do they get the tar off? Well apparently its not real tar and the symbolism is actually quite interesting.

Anyway more on this dirty little ritual:

Tar and feathers, anyone? For Scotland’s tradition of blackening of the bride, which has expanded to now include the groom, absolutely anything goes. This includes tars, feathers, pillow stuffing, molasses, dirt, rotting food, sour milk, flour, smashed garbanzo beans, sushi — you name it and you got it, you can certainly pile it on. The blackening takes place prior to the wedding, which at least spares the tux and wedding dress, but any time or location is fair game. Once blackened, the lucky newlywed-to-be is paraded through the streets or tethered to a tree as said “friends” announce the wedding. Blackening supposedly prepares the person for any humiliation that life has yet to bring, as nothing could be as humiliating as being blackened.
