Profile

Stephen Feuerman and Russell Zelenetz combined their experience as jewelry-store owner and designer to open this small Madison Avenue shop. The glass cases in the window draw street traffic into the petite space, which boasts high, curving walls paneled in wood veneer. In the showroom's cabinets, dangling pearl earrings, glittering wristbands, and gold-and-ruby brooches rest on black velvet. Feuerman and Zelenetz gather these mostly vintage jewels from collections, estates, and antique suppliers around the world. They reflect styles ranging from Victorian era to Art Deco to postwar America. The remainder of the wares are the pair’s own designs, and limited custom work is also available. — Andrew Cleary

This quaint shop is full of rare signed pieces from the Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco periods (from $3,000 into the millions). It also carries its own contemporary designs.
