Brooklyn independent jewelry designer, Judy Geib, whose work is offered at Barneys and was included in the Cooper Hewitt's 2006 National Design Triennial, has something unique to contribute to the luxury jewelry market. Her work is handmade, and purposely shows the human hand at work in crafting each piece. She approaches stones and settings the way a graphic designer might approach line, pattern and color (as she was in graphic design before 2001 when she began pursue her jewelry as a career).
With the eye of a curator-meets-quirky-crafter, Geib provides her retailers with crocheted cases, on which to display matched sets of jewelry, so that her designs may be shown with a distinct look that is all their own. The intersection of the nubbly, friendly crochet with the almost drizzled look of her metalwork makes her presentation utterly captivating.
