Couture is putting fine jewelry on the radar of fashion editors via a special exhibit that will appear in the main hall of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center in New York City, running from Sept. 9 through Sept. 16.
Through a first-time alliance with IMG, which produces Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, Couture will unveil the “Couture Fine Jewelry Exhibition,” featuring the designs of seven brands that represent the best in high-end jewelry design.
The designers featured in the Couture exhibition at Fashion Week include the following:
- Scott Kay: As the exclusive men’s jewelry brand appearing at Fashion Week, Scott Kay will showcase the “Art of Man” collection of sterling menswear with 18-karat gold and gemstone accents, featuring the bold and intricately carved designs that the brand is known for.
- Gurhan: Freshly released for fall 2010, Gurhan’s “4/24 Collection,” features a new chocolate-hued 4-karat gold alloy mixed with pure 24-karat gold in contemporary designs that give fashion a new spin in fine jewelry and mixes well with Gurhan’s signature pure 24-karat gold designs, too.

The brand has reinterpreted its classic designs to celebrate its 10-year anniversary at Bergdorf Goodman and in the United States.
