Please join us as we welcome internationally renowned designer, Nicholas Varney to St. Louis. This marks the first time Nicholas Varney jewelry has been made available in the Midwest, and his first visit to the city.
From the pages of Vogue and W to the New York Times and Robb Report, Nicholas Varney’s jewelry is hot — attracting the attention of private clients, exclusive jewelers and museums. Known for his artistic use of gems, Varney says he combines the “bravado of bold American designers such as David Webb and Tony Duquette with fine European craftsmanship.” (Robb Report: Rising Stars)
 |
The son of famed society interior designer Carleton Varney and textile designer Suzanne Varney, Nicholas grew up associating jewelry with “love, travel, excitement and happiness.” Sondra Schneider writes in Aspen Peak Magazine, “Nicholas Varney does not make jewelry-he creates small sculptural paintings, works of art that are worthy of being displayed as objects de virtu when they are not being worn.”
Friday, November 21 9:30am – 5pm
