Dover Street Market Los Angeles is turning its focus to jewelry for the month of June, unveiling a group exhibition featuring 16 designers and brands timed to coincide with Couture Las Vegas show.
The exhibition, open now, marks the sixth iteration of Dover Street Market’s jewelry-focused showcases, following previous projects at DSM Singapore and DSM Paris. The retailer has brought together a mix of established and emerging names spanning fine jewelry, silverwork and sculptural metal design, while also commissioning artist Jesse Draxler to create original imagery for the installation.
