CAN’T-MISS COLLECTION

The Perfect Fix

Seattle-based jewelry designer Jamie Joseph has been saving broken stones—casualties of her in-house cutting operation—for 20 years. Recently, she came up with a novel idea for what to do with them. Joseph’s Golden Joinery ­collection, which debuted at ­Couture in June, is inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery. Pieces feature cleaved gems whose fissures are filled with 22k gold seams. All SKUs are one-of-a-kind.
