The renowned American company “Jay Strongwater” creates unique jewelry and luxurious interior accessories. According to the company, “Luxury is a special attention to details”.
A graduate of Rhode Island Design School, Feinberg began his career as a jeweler. Oscar de la Renta almost immediately noticed the young designer, when in 1981, he created his first collection of jewelry. As a result, the very next year, Jay Feinberg jewelry appeared in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. This allowed him to open his first studio in New York, and his jewelry began its ascent to world catwalks.
Gradually, the fashion shows began to do without the use of jewelry at all, or couturiers preferred cheaper versions of jewelry. Understanding this, in 1994 Strongwater created a collection of … photo frames! Traditionally, he uses jewelry alloys of tin, bronze and copper, coated with colored enamel, and the Faberge technique. Also, semiprecious stones and Swarovski crystals. He pays equal attention to both the front and back of the products, which subsequently becomes his quality mark and business card.
