Sidney Garber and Carey Lowell, the ceramicist and actor, are collaborating on their first jewelry collection together. The 17 pieces—necklaces, earrings, pendants, and rings in gold, ebony, ceramic, and diamonds—are inspired by ancient goddess figures and rounded feminine forms.
This partnership stems from a genuine friendship and mutual admiration between Lowell and Brooke Garber. Lowell is a long-time collector of Sidney Garber jewelry and Garber is a longtime collector of Lowell’s ceramics. This represents the first in a series of partnerships between Garber and female creators.
The idea came to Garber when she saw a ceramic mobile created by Lowell. Garber alerted Lisa Perry, founder of Onna House, a gallery and collective devoted to women artists in East Hampton and Palm Beach, where Lowell’s work was shown.
“As soon as I saw Carey’s mobile, I thought, this is jewelry,” says Garber. “When I found out they were goddesses, it made sense to me. With her graceful strength and creativity, Carey is the archetype of a goddess.”
Lowell says, “I became interested in pre-history and the origin of female power. Some of the shapes are goddesses and some are things I love. They express the organic female form—curved, rounded, and fecund—and represent life force and regeneration, rebirth, and fertility. I made them as a celebration of womanhood and femininity.”
This limited-edition collection is sold at Bergorf Goodman, at the Sidney Garber boutique in New York City, and available for preorder on the Sidney Garber website.
