Just curious...someone mentioned a while back how they see something like an august vintage moissy in a custom setting as fine jewelry. I get that. At the same time I'm seeing high-end designers mix it up with materials...more lab and semi-precious stones and non-precious metals (aluminum, titanium)...and often priced like their traditional counterparts. I also feel like I see more high-end costume jewelry...like even Louis Vuitton makes resin rings...
I'm still figuring out where I come down on it myself...I like the new materials but I do have a bias for the precious stones and metals. I think the artistry has to be special to elevate a non-traditional piece for me. Or maybe it has to mix old and new.
Would love to hear some opinions....are the dividing lines less or more clear cut than they used to be and where do you draw it?
