Sixty-five years ago Eric Shrubsole and his father opened a branch of their London Shop, S.J. Shrubsole, in New York City. Driving a 1936 Packard full of silver across country, Mr. Shrubsole succeeded in building a clientele throughout the United States. Since then we have had the good fortune to work with some of the world's greatest collectors - from the serious, such as Irwin Untermyer and Henry Francais duPont, to the compulsive, such as Arthur Gilbert and William Randolph Hearst, to the compulsively unserious, such as Groucho Marx. And we have dealt with some of the world's greatest rarities - including Paul de Lamerie's magnificent Sutherland wine cistern now in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts; the Elizabethan ewer and basin in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, and the Ashburnham centerpiece by Nicholas Sprimont in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.

Maurice Badler established his business in America over fifty years ago. Prior to that, he was a master diamond cutter in Antwerp, Belgium. His painstaking attention to small details earned him a reputation as a perfectionist. If you worked for him, you had to be good!<br/> Today, the business remains in family hands, with Maurice's son Jeffrey at the helm. As a skilled gemologist, he has earned a reputation for skill and honesty on par with his father. But now, he's taken the excitement of the company to a new level. With an experienced eye for fashion, Jeffrey travels to Europe regularly to seek out as yet undiscovered designers whose wares have not yet been seen. He's established relationships with some of the finest jewelry artisans the world has to offer. You'll be able to come to Maurice Badler to see the latest in jewelry trends well before most even know the designs exist. With his contacts around the world, we're able to have the standard basics at a quality and price level that others can't compete with.

Karen Karch’s inspirations are often derived from the idea of contradiction. Karen Karch’s raw refined designs illustrate her mastery of juxtaposition and her ability to find beauty in the unconventional. Her designs explore the duality of the natural world by embracing imperfections and playing upon opposites: glamorous & gritty; luxurious & spare; dark & luminous; structured & organic. <br> All Karen Karch designs are artfully engineered to accentuate its specific gemstone or metal – Karen Karch architects each piece’s setting to bring out the stone’s brilliance, which is also achieved by her unique combinations of gemstones and metals. Black diamonds are set in 18 karat rose gold to illuminate their brilliance. Colorless diamonds burn bright when set against platinum’s cool luster. And champagne and cognac diamonds truly glow when surrounded by 18 karat white gold.

Visiting this Greenwich Village studio feels like stepping into a creative sanctuary, especially during winter's quieter months when the neighborhood takes on a contemplative energy. The jewelry here emerges from a philosophy that weaves together natural forms, spiritual intention, and architectural precision into pieces that flow with an almost liquid grace.

The designer's approach has fundamentally shaped how contemporary jewelry functions as fine art rather than mere adornment.

Back in the late nineties, a jewelry vision took shape in Manhattan's SoHo district, where bold designs and refined elegance found their perfect home. The boutique quickly built a devoted following thanks to its mix of delicate pieces and eye-catching statement jewelry that felt fresh and alive.

Even on gray winter afternoons, when Manhattan's streets quiet down, you'll find the warm glow of their showcases drawing in browsers seeking something truly distinctive. What started as one bold idea has grown into a destination where colorful, dramatic pieces sit alongside understated feminine treasures, each one chosen with real care for those who appreciate the difference quality makes.

Michael has always designed collections using classic materials that he is inherently drawn to: silver, gold, diamonds, an endless variety of semi-precious stones, as well as more unusual natural materials found in travels around the world. Early in his career, he discovered the ancient technique of granulation, in which metal is heated and formed into tiny spheres which are affixed in various patterns. Incorporating this design element alongside clean crisp lines into much of his work provides a signature that is uniquely his own. Using this wide mix of materials and an extensive vocabulary of design elements allows him to present collections that combine his modern, functional sensibility with an infinite respect for the hues, textures, and compositions abundant in nature.

"In 2002, Greenwich Jewelers moved to a new location just blocks away from the original store. The 64 Trinity Place store opened in July, and the larger location allowed us to expand the selection of fine jewelry and watches and double the size of the workshop. In the past few years the Gandias' daughters, Jennifer and Christina, joined the family business, with the same passion for gems and jewelry as their parents. Today, the Greenwich Jewelers heritage of exceptional custom design and jewelry service remains intact as the hallmark of our business. However, Jennifer and Christina have expanded the vision of the store to include providing clients the latest styles in fine jewelry. From classics with a twist to unique artisan collections, each piece is hand-selected to enhance the wearer's personality, style and life."
