Andrew Werner’s Photo Diary of the Winter Show
See the beautiful vintage diamond jewels and colorful pieces
January 30, 2024—For the first time in a couple years, the weather during The Winter Show lived up to the title of the event. It was freezing during the first few days of the luxurious fair which took place from January 19 – 28 at the Park Avenue Armory on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Yet the artic chill didn’t dissuade New Yorkers from attending The Winter Show which benefits the East Side Settlement House through ticket sales.
It didn’t stop photographer Andrew Werner from visiting either. For the second year running, he explored the displays and photographed the jewels that caught his eye exclusively for The Adventurine.
See the images and find out some details of the designs from A La Vieille Russie, James Robinson, Kentshire and Simon Teakle who were among the over 70 exhibitors at The Winter Show.
