Victoire de Castellane - Precious Jewels and Sculpture Collide

Reading The New Yorker this weekend had me wishing I was in New York to visit Victoire de Castellane's exhibit entitled "Precious Objects" at the Gagosian Gallery (on view until April 26th). A unique base accompanies each pieces and turns the unworn jewels into sculptures befitting an art gallery. Check out the below links for the article, more pictures and information.
